In the entire course of the river of 1,312 km (815.2 mi), there are 41 tributaries, out of which 22 are from the Satpura range and the rest on the right bank are from the Vindhya range. [4] Dhupgarh (1,350 m), near Pachmarhi is the highest point of the Narmada basin. [14] The basin has five well defined physiographic regions.
The Narmada Valley dry deciduous forests cover an area of 169,900 km 2 (65,600 sq mi) of the lower Narmada River Valley and the surrounding uplands of the Vindhya Range to the north and the western end of the Satpura Range to the south. The Narmada Valley is an east-west flat-bottomed valley, or graben, that separates the two plateaus.
