The Kuppam River originates in the Brahmagiri Wildlife Sanctuary of Kodagu district, near the Kerala-Karnataka border. From its source it flows west through Taliparamba and Kannur taluks, passing Therandy, Cheriyoor, Pachheni, Iringal, Kuppam, Pattuvam, Payangadi, and Matool. It flows into the Lakshadweep Sea just north of Azhikkal, after meeting the Valapattanam River. The river is about 82 kilometres long, but it is only navigable for 24 kilometres. The Kuppam flows for 12 kilometres in Karnataka, and for 70 kilometres in Kerala. The river's largest tributary, which joins the Kuppam southwest of Pattuvam, is the Kuttikol river, which is 42 kilometres long. Other tributaries include the Chiriyathodu, Mukuttathodu, Alakuttathodu, and Pakkattupoya rivers.
