==Course== <br />
The Bavali River starts from Chekuthan thode in [[Wayanad]] District in Kerala. Initially the river flows over 20 km in the [[Western Ghats]] region to reach Ambayathode. Then the river enters the eastern hilly regions of Kannur district at [[Kottiyoor]] village. Then the river passes through small towns- Chungakkunnu, Kelakam, Kanichar and Pala(Kannur)(where the Kanjirapuzha river joins). Then the river reaches at Ayyapankavu, where the Aralam river joins the Bavali river. Then it flows towards [[Iritty]] town where the Veni river joins the Bavali river. Then the Bavali river passes through [[Padiyoor]], [[Perumannu]], [[Irikkur]], Pavannur and finally joins with the [[Valapattanam River]] at Munambu Kadavu, [[Koyyam]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://get2knowindia.com/iritty/|title=Iritty|date=28 August 2016}}</ref><br />
