The Pülümür Çayı (also Harçîk Çayı ) is a left tributary of the Munzur Çayı in the eastern Turkish province of Tunceli .
The Pülümür Çayı rises west of the Pülümür district administrative center on the slopes of the Avcı Mountains in the Munzur Mountains . The river valley is initially steep and narrow. In the upper reaches, the river passes the town of Pülümür and then flows over a distance of 65 km in a south-westerly direction through the mountains. The Pülümür Çayı finally meets the Munzur Çayı flowing in from the northwest near the provincial capital Tunceli . The Pülümür Çayı has a length of 69 km. So far, the river has been spared from dams and dams. The D885 trunk road , an important road connection between Erzincan in the Karasu Valley and Tunceli, runs in the Pülümür Çayı Valley.
The Pülümür Çayı is nourished by meltwater and numerous tributaries and therefore carries a lot of water.
