The Anjarakandy river originates in the slopes of the Western Ghats at the border of the Wayanad and Kannur districts. The river then flows through the hilly towns of Nedumpoyil, Kannavam, Cheruvanchery, Manatheri, Kandamkunnu, Chittaripparamba and Vengoor.[4] Many minor tributaries like Mattanur river and Peravoor river joins the Anjarakandy at this region. Then the river plunges out of the hilly terrain into the Malabar plains. It then passes through Keezhalloor, Paduvilayi, Anjarakandy, Peralassery, Keezhathur, Mambaram and Palayad. At reaching Dharmadom the river empties into the Arabian Sea.
The river Anjarakandy is flowing through the Anjarakandy village of Kannur district.[5] This place is prominent for its Cinnamon estate.
