	The Ramganga River originates in the southern slopes of [[Dudhatoli]] Hill in [[Pauri Garhwal]] district of the [[India]]n state of [[Uttarakhand]]. The source of the river, known as "Diwali Khal", is located in [[Gairsain]] tehsil at {{Coord\|30\|05\|00\|N\|79\|18\|00\|E\|display=inline}}. The river flows by the town of [[Gairsain]], however the town is located at a much higher altitude than the river. The river then enters the [[Almora district]] of [[Kumaon division\|Kumaon]] through a deep and narrow valley in [[Chaukhutia]] tehsil. Emerging from there, it turns southwest and receives the Tadagatal River, wandering widely around the southeastern boundary of Lohabagarhi. It then proceeds further in the same direction and reaches Ganai, where it receives the Kharogad coming from [[Dunagiri]] from the left and Khetasargad coming from Pandnakhal from the right.

After [[Masi, Almora\|Masi]], the valley shrinks to some extent, but some fertile plains are still found up to the Briddhakedar temple. Here it receives the Vinod river, which originates from Chaukot, and from this point onwards the flow of the river turns southwards, and mountains filled with fertile soil and rocks can be seen on either sides of the river. Eleven miles further from Masi, it reaches Bhikiyasain, where it receives the Gagas from the east and Naurargad from the south.

	Ramganga, which is already a large river now, enters the plains at Kalagarh in [[Bijnor district]] of [[Uttar Pradesh]], where [[Kalagarh Dam\|a dam]] has been constructed on the river for the purpose of irrigation and hydroelectric production. About 15 miles from here it is joined by the Khoh, after which it enters the [[Moradabad district]], where on the alluvial lowlands it flows in a southeastern direction with a very rapid flow, and forms the boundary between [[Thakurdwara]] and [[Kanth, Moradabad\|Kanth]] tehsils. The Ramganga receives several tributaries in moradabad, almost all on its left bank, most of which are Tarai streams flowing towards south or south-west. The first among them is the Phika, which rises in the kumaon hills and joins the Ramganga near Surjannagar. The Khalia stream, which drains the north-western part of Thakurdwara joins the Ramganga at Daulatpur Tigri. After receiving the Dhela river, the Ramganga flows through the city of [[Moradabad]], which is situated on its right bank, and receives the Rajera river near Dalpatpur. The river then continues further towards [[Rampur district]], where it receives the [[Koshi river]] near Chamraul in [[Shahabad, Rampur\|Shahabad]] tehsil. It crosses Rampur with the same direction and strong currents as Moradabad and reaches [[Bareilly district]].

	The Ramganga flows through the Bareilly district mainly in the southeastern direction. It receives the combined stream of ~~[[Bhakra (Ramganga tributary)\|~~Bhakra]] and [[Gaula River (India)\|Kichha]] (also called Baigul) from its left and the Gagan river from its right, after which it reaches near [[Bareilly]] city, which is located at a distance of about 10 km on its left side. Here it receives the Deoranian and Nakatiya rivers from its left - both rivers flow through Bareilly. An annual fair is held on the banks of the river on the occasion of Ganga Dussehra in Chaubari village near Bareilly in the month of September–October.

The Ramganga flows through the Bareilly district mainly in the southeastern direction. It receives the combined stream of [[Bhakra (Ramganga tributary)|Bhakra]] and [[Gaula River (India)|Kichha]] (also called Baigul) from its left and the Gagan river from its right, after which it reaches near [[Bareilly]] city, which is located at a distance of about 10 km on its left side.
