The Jia Bharali River enters Assam through Bhalukpong in Arunachal Pradesh. Originally known as the Kameng, it originates in the Tawang district of the eastern Himalayas. The river changes its name to Jia Bharali at Nameri in the Sonitpur district. It is a major tributary of the Brahmaputra, joining it just east of the Koliabhomura bridge.
