The Dhur is a river in the Dzongkhag (District) Bumthang in northeast Bhutan . It is one of the source rivers of the Menchugang .
The Dhur is about 25 km long, then it flows together with the Ramling and forms the men’s entrance. There are several hot springs at the mouth .
The area around the Dhur is mainly overgrown with a coniferous forest of teardrop pines ( Pinus wallichiana ). The area is known for its exceptionally rich flora. Many plants are endemic to the narrow river valley , such as Lilium sherriffiae , a rare species of lily. One species of the louse herb genus , Pedicularis dhurensis RR Mill, was even named after the river.
