Gudar River

The Gudar is a river of central Ethiopia. It is a tributary of the Abay or Blue Nile on the left side; tributaries of the Gudar include the Dabissa and the Taranta. The Gudar River has a drainage area about 7,011 square kilometers in size. It was bounded by the historical Endagabatan province.

In the 1600s emperor Susenyos I and his troops traversed this river to meet Hadiya leader Sidi Mohammed at the Battle of Hadiya.

A Greek resident built the first bridge over the Gudar in 1897.
