Since the river flows through a narrow valley confined by precipitous, (dangerously high or steep) hills, it does not have many tributaries., , It rises from Maikala range near Amarkantak in Madhya Pradesh, at an elevation of about, 1057 m., , Narmada basin extends over states of Madhya Pradesh, Gujarat, Maharashtra and, Chhattisgarh., , It is bounded by the Vindhyas on the north, Maikala range on the east, Satpuras on the, south and by the Arabian Sea on the west., , Its total length from its source in Amarkantak to its estuary in the Gulf of Khambhat is, 1,310 km., , The absence of tributaries is especially noted on the right bank of the river where, the Hiran is the only exception., , The other right bank tributaries are the Orsang, the Barna and the Kolar., , A few left bank tributaries drain the northern slopes of the Satpura Range and join the, Narmada at different places, , Right tributaries of Narmada are:, , o Uri, , o Hiran, o Orsang, o Kolar, , , , 5
