The Sarju (Kumaoni: सरज्यू, Hindi: सरयू), also known as Sarayu, is a major river draining Central Kumaon region[4] in the Indian state of Uttarakhand.[5] Originating from Sarmul, Sarju flows through the cities of Kapkot, Bageshwar and Seraghat before joining Mahakali at Pancheshwar. The Sarju is the largest tributary of the Sharda River.[6] The river forms the South-eastern border between the districts of Pithoragarh and Almora.[7][8] Temperate and sub-Tropical forests cover the entire Catchment area of the River.[9]
