The '''Dharla River''' ({{lang-bn| ধরলা নদী|translit=Dhorola nodi}}) is one of [[Bangladesh]]'s [[trans-boundary river]]s. It originates in the [[East Sikkim district|East Sikkim]] in [[Himalayas]] where it is known as the [[Jaldhaka River]], and then it flows through [[Bhutan]] and [[Kalimpong district|Kalimpong]], [[Jalpaiguri district|Jalpaiguri]] and [[Cooch Behar district|Cooch Behar]] districts of [[West Bengal]], [[India]], one of the seven main rivers to do so. Here the river enters Bangladesh through the [[Lalmonirhat District]] and joins with the Jaldhaka River and flows as the Dharla River until it empties into the [[Brahmaputra River]] near the [[Kurigram District]]. Near [[Patgram Upazila]], it again flows easterly back into India. It then moves south and enters Bangladesh again through [[Phulbari Upazila, Kurigram|Phulbari Upazila]] of Kurigram District and continues a slow meandering course.<ref>{{cite book |last=Chowdhury |first=Masud Hasan |year=2012 |chapter=Dharla River |chapter-url=http://en.banglapedia.org/index.php?title=Dharla_River |editor1-last=Islam |editor1-first=Sirajul |editor1-link=Sirajul Islam |editor2-last=Jamal |editor2-first=Ahmed A. |title=Banglapedia: National Encyclopedia of Bangladesh |edition=Second |publisher=[[Asiatic Society of Bangladesh]]}}</ref><br />

The average depth of river is {{convert|12|ft|m}} and maximum depth is {{convert|39|ft|m}}, in origin of [[Kurigram]].<br />
<br />
Erosion by the rivers Dharla and Jamuna took a serious turn in Lalmonirhat in 2007.<br />
In Lalmonirhat, about {{convert|2|km|mi}} of a {{convert|7|km|mi|adj=on}} long flood control embankment was devoured by the Dharla. Three mosques, two temples, a madrassah and a primary school, and a vast tract of cultivable land with crops were devoured by the river, rendering about three thousand people homeless.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://southasianmedia.net/cnn.cfm?id=404857&category=Environment&Country=BANGLADESH |title=Erosion of Dharla, Jamuna worsens |access-date=2007-07-17 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070927215846/http://southasianmedia.net/cnn.cfm?id=404857&category=Environment&Country=BANGLADESH |archive-date=2007-09-27 |url-status=dead }}</ref><br />
<br />
There is a park beside the Dharla at Kurigram. There also is a bridge. The river is full during the [[monsoon]] season but has only knee-deep water in summer. Deposition of silt has led to the formation of many small islands (chars) in the river.<ref>Khokon, Leaquat Hossain, ''64 Jela Bhraman'', 2007, pp.14-15, Anindya Prokash, Dhaka, {{ISBN|984-8740-19-8}}</ref><br />
