The '''Burha River''' (also called Burhaghagh River) flows through the [[Latehar district]] of [[Palamu division]] in the [[India]]n [[States and territories of India|state]] of [[Jharkhand]].

A little to the south of [[Betla National Park]] is the wide bowl shaped Chhechhari valley, with a high hill range around it. The rim of the bowl forms the watershed from which dozens of rivulets arise. These join together to form the Burha river, one of the major tributaries of the North Koel.<ref>{{cite web |url = http://www.cscsarchive.org:8081/MediaArchive/liberty.nsf/(docid)/77749171E28C887FE5256ACD002CF00F |title = Netarhat - In The Line of Fire |accessdate = 2010-04-29 |url-status = dead |archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20110716110403/http://www.cscsarchive.org:8081/MediaArchive/liberty.nsf/%28docid%29/77749171E28C887FE5256ACD002CF00F |archivedate = 2011-07-16 }}</ref>

Chhechhari valley is surrounded by lofty hills on every side. This valley is a complete basin with the scrap of the great tableland of Sirguja on the west, on the south the range that overlooks the Barwe Valley in Ranchi district, on the east [[Netarhat]] and Pakripat, and in the north the spur crowned by the fort of Tamolgarh and the Burha Pahar, {{convert|3000|ft|m|disp=flip}} high, round the foot of which flows the river of the same name, which is the only outlet for the waters of the valley<ref>{{cite web|url = http://www.palamu.nic.in/gazette/general_gazette.doc|title = Gazetteer of Palamu District|accessdate = 2010-04-29|archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20110721172839/http://www.palamu.nic.in/gazette/general_gazette.doc#|archive-date = 2011-07-21|url-status = dead}}</ref>

In its upper reaches the Burha River leaps though three [[waterfalls]]: [[Lodh Falls]] or Burhagaugh Falls, which is {{convert|142|m|ft}} high; Gutamgaugh Falls, {{convert|36.57|m|ft}}, and Gharaghugra Falls, {{convert|7.62|m|ft}}.<ref>{{cite book|url = https://books.google.com/books?id=Iz_m9dlXEUYC&q=Burha+river&pg=PA110 | title = Encyclopedia of nature of geography By A.Z.

At some places the river forms the state boundary between Jharkhand and Chhattisgarh. It carries a large volume of water during rains over a rocky river bed but
during dry months it almost dries up. From Lodh Falls to Bagechampa it flows through beautiful forests and above Kutku at Bagechampa it flows into the [[North Koel River|North Koel]].<ref>{{cite web |url = http://www.jharkhandforest.com/files/Daltonganj%20South%20Name.pdf |title = River System |accessdate = 2010-04-29 |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20110713104607/http://www.jharkhandforest.com/files/Daltonganj%20South%20Name.pdf |archive-date = 13 July 2011 |url-status = dead }}</ref>
