Ujh Barrage

Ujh Barrage is a barrage constructed across the Ujh River, a major tributary of the Ravi River, near Kathua in Kathua District, Jammu and Kashmir. Built as part of the Ujh Multipurpose Project, it is intended for irrigation, flood control and water management for agricultural lands in the Kathua region. The site offers river views and surrounding agricultural landscape and is visited for sightseeing and photography.

Visitors can expect a functional river barrage structure across the Ujh River with water channels, gates and embankments surrounded by open riverbed, agricultural fields and low hills. The area is largely open and rural with views of the river upstream and downstream. There are no formal tourist developments; visitors can view the barrage from accessible banks and approach roads, observe water flow and take photographs of the river landscape.

Ujh Barrage is part of the Ujh Multipurpose Project on the Ujh River, a tributary of the Ravi River. The project was planned by the Government of Jammu and Kashmir with central assistance to provide irrigation to lands in Kathua district, manage flood waters and utilize river water resources. The barrage is a key component for diverting and regulating river water for canal irrigation.
