The '''Chinnar River''' originates in the [[Annaimalai Hills]] below a grassy pass between the hills [[Kumarikkal Mala]] (8,275&nbsp;ft) and [[Kaladekatti Malai]] In [[Idukki District]], [[Kerala]] state [[South India]]. The 18&nbsp;km long Chinnar river defines the East-West [[Tamil Nadu]]/Kerala state boundary along the northern edge of the [[Chinnar Wildlife Sanctuary]] and the southern edge of the [[Indira Gandhi National Park|Indira Gandhi Wildlife Sanctuary]]. Several adult crocodiles were reported in the Chinnar river in 1992.<ref>SATHEESH, S (1992) - A preliminary status survey of the mugger crocodile (Crocodylus palustris, Lesson) in Tamil Nadu. Report submitted to the Centre for Herpetology/Madras Crocodile Bank.

There is another small village #2 at {{coord|10.3553|N|77.1839|E|}}. There are Kerala and Tamil Nadu border checkpoints on either side of the river where a [[State Highway 17 (Tamil Nadu - Kerala, India)|SH 17]] road bridge crosses the river at {{coord|10.35241|N|77.21775|E}}. 2&nbsp;km east it is joined from the south by the [[Pambar River (Kerala)|Pambar River]] at [[Koottar]] where a comfortable tree house accommodation is available.<ref>Blue Yonder Holidays Pvt Ltd, Chinnar, the real treasure trove, retrieved 8/30/2007 [http://www.theblueyonder.com/chinnar.htm#link3 Koottar Tree House] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081015043825/http://www.theblueyonder.com/chinnar.htm#link3 |date=15 October 2008 }}.</ref> Here it crosses into Indira Gandhi Wildlife Sanctuary in Tamil Nadu and becomes the [[Amaravati River]].<br />

==Tributaries==<br />
The river is joined by a small stream from the south at a small village, 2. 2&nbsp;km east of the NH 17 road bridge, while the river is joined from the south by the [[Pambar River (Kerala)|Pambar River]] at [[Koottar]]. The western part of the [[Manjampatti Valley]] catchment basin drains into the end of the Chinnar River. This Valley is drained by the stream Ten Ar and a smaller unnamed stream 2&nbsp;km to its west. The unnamed stream is the N-S political boundary between Tamil Nadu and Kerala. The top of the ridge above this stream to the west is the western limit of the catchment. This unnamed stream joins the Pambar River at the point they both join the Chinnar River at the north west corner of the Valley.<br />
