Which river rises in the Amarkantak region and flows westwards into the Gulf of Khambhat?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Narmada

The correct answer is Narmada. It rises at or near Amarkantak in Madhya Pradesh and travels westward through a structural rift valley between the Vindhya and Satpura ranges. It eventually enters the Arabian Sea through the Gulf of Khambhat. This westward direction is an important geographical distinction because most major peninsular rivers, such as the Mahanadi, Godavari, Krishna, and Kaveri, flow eastward into the Bay of Bengal. Tapi is also a west-flowing river and reaches the Arabian Sea, but its source is in the Satpura region near Multai, not Amarkantak. Son rises near Amarkantak but flows generally eastward as a tributary of the Ganga.
