The Lidder (also Liddar ; Urdu لدر ندی) is a right tributary of the Jhelam in the Indian union territory of Jammu and Kashmir .
The Lidder has its origin on the glacier of Kolahoigletschers on the northern edge of the Kolahoi at an altitude of 3650 m . It initially flows in an arc through the western foothills of the Himalayas - first to the north, then to the west and finally to the south. The river passes the settlements of Aru and Mondlan. At Pahalgam , the Eastern Lidder , the most important tributary of the Lidder, meets the river from the northeast. This now flows in a south-southeast direction out of the mountains into the plateau of the Kashmir Valley . After a total of 60 km, the Lidder turns to the west-southwest and finally joins the Jhelam on the right-hand side 3 km northwest of the city of Anantnag . The Lidder has a length of 73 km. The mean discharge is 206 m³ / s. Its catchment area forms the northern part of the Anantnag district .
