The '''Uhl''' is a Himalayan river which is part of the watershed of [[Beas River|Beas]] river. The river originates at the Thamsar Glacier in the [[Dhauladhar]] range of the [[Himalayas]], flows through the Uhl valley crossing the villages Bada Gran (Baragram) and [[Barot (Himachal Pradesh)|Barot]]. In its lower course, it is also known as Tiun Nala and the Uhl valley is known as Chohar valley. After passing the Chohar valley, the Uhl meets the [[Beas River|Beas]] river 5 km downstream from Pandoh.

The Uhl originates from a lake formed by the Thamsar Glacier in higher [[Dhauladhar]] range. The lake is very close to the Thamsar Pass, which lies on the trail to Bada Bhangal. From Thamsar, where it starts as a small mountain stream, Uhl reaches Palachak, a temporary settlement on the Uhl, where a tributary joins it from the right bank. It crosses Baragram and 18 km downstream at Barot, the Uhl is joined by the Lumba Dugh from the left bank. The Lumba Dugh also originates in the East of the [[Dhauladhar]] Range and flows past Luhardi village before meeting the Uhl.

The permanent campus of the [[Indian Institute of Technology Mandi]], spread over {{convert|520|acre|km2}} of land, is located on the left bank of the river Uhl at [[Kamand, Mandi district|Kamand]] (15 km by road from [[Mandi, India|Mandi town]]).

==Hydroelectric projects==
[[File:Barot from across the Uhl reservoir.jpg|thumb|right|Reservoir at Barot]]
[[File:The power house of th Uhl scheme at Jogindarnagar.jpg|left|thumb|Power station at Jogindernagar]]
The hydroelectric projects oh Uhl river have been divided in three stages.
The [[Shanan Power House]] or UHL stage-I, one of the oldest hydel power projects, started by [[British Rule]] in India is based on the Uhl. Waters of the Uhl are tapped at [[Barot (Himachal Pradesh)|Barot]] in a reservoir using a barrage. This water is then diverted to the [[Shanan Power House]], Jogindernagar using a tunnel and penstocks, where it runs turbines for electricity generation.<br>
Another set of turbines is added at Bassi, a small village situated at the bottom of Chapprot hill and Bassi Power House (66 MW) or UHL stage-II comes into existence. Bassi Power House is the producer of cheapest hydro-electricity (since the project is based on tail-water of Shanan project). <br>
The construction of third stage of project, Uhl Stage III (100 MW), was inaugurated at village Chulla near Tullah with two reservoir, one near the Machhyal Lake and another at Raktal village near Chulla, is currently under progress.
The vision of the hydel project scheme was to construct five power stations using the same water that is drawn from the Uhl river.

==Angling==
Of late, with the introduction of [[trout]] in the Indian Himalayan region, [[fish farms]] have come up on the banks of Uhl at [[Barot (Himachal Pradesh)|Barot]]. There is a government run trout breeding farm and several privately owned trout farms. The angling season runs from the end of August to the end of October annually.
