Kosi Barrage

Kosi Barrage is a river barrage on the Kosi River near Rampur city in Rampur district, Uttar Pradesh. Built for irrigation, flood control and water regulation, it spans the river with gates and embankments. The site is known for wide river views, calm water stretches upstream and agricultural surroundings. It serves as a local sightseeing and photography spot and offers views of the river landscape, especially during monsoon and winter months.

Visitors can expect a functional river barrage with gated structure across the Kosi River, wide water expanse upstream and regulated flow downstream. The surroundings are flat agricultural plains with riverbanks and approach roads. There is an open view of the river, embankments and sluice gates. Visitors typically walk along the barrage approach, view the water flow, take photographs and observe the rural landscape. No formal visitor complex; experience is outdoors and informal.

Constructed as part of irrigation and flood management infrastructure on the Kosi River, a tributary of the Ramganga River system in western Uttar Pradesh, to regulate river flow, support canal irrigation for agriculture in Rampur district and manage seasonal water levels.
