The North Karo River (Hindi: ऊत्त्तरि कारो नदी) drains the Indian state of Jharkhand.

It originates on the Ranchi Plateau. It forms a 17-metre (56 ft) high scarp falls, Pheruaghaugh, at the southern margin of the Ranchi plateau.[1] It drains the Gumla, Ranchi and West Singhbhum districts.[2] It joins the South Koel near Serengda. The meandering valley of the Karo river, downstream from Pheruaghaugh falls is a typical example of an incised meander.[3][4]
