The Rambiara (also Rambi Ara ) is a left tributary of the Veshav in the Indian union territory of Jammu and Kashmir .

The headwaters of the Rambiara are located at an altitude of about 3900  m in the Pir Panjal . Initially it flows north through the mountains. After 20 km the river turns east. The Mughal Road now runs along the river. The Rambiara reaches the southern part of the Kashmir Valley and flows north past the district capital Shopian . 13 km north-northwest of Anantnag the Rambiara meets the Veshav, which flows into the Jhelam after another 5 km . The Rambiara has a length of about 65 km. The Hirpora Wildlife Sanctuary is located on the upper reaches of the Rambiara . Flash floods occur again and again on the Rambiara. In the middle course, the river is flanked on both sides of the river by gravel surfaces that are overflown when the water is strong.
