Chambal River

The Chambal river rises near Mhow in the Vindhyan range and flows towards the north generally in a gorge up to Kota. Passing through Dhar, Ujjain, Ratlam, Mandsaur of Madhya Pradesh, it enters the Rajasthan state and flows Kota and Bundi.

After this, it forms the boundary of Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh and later on Madhya Pradesh and Uttar Pradesh. After reaching Pinhat, it turns to the east and runs nearly parallel to Yamuna. Chambal joins Yamuna near Etawah.

It is 1060 km long. Banas is an important left bank tributary of Chambal. The Sind, Betwa and Ken are its other tributaries.
