The Ken River is one of the major rivers in the Bundelkhand region of central India and flows through the states of Madhya Pradesh and Uttar Pradesh. It is a tributary of the Yamuna.

Course

The Ken River originates near the village Ahirgawan on the north-west slopes of Barner Range in Katni district.^[2] After 427 km (265 mi), it merges with Yamuna river at Chilla village in Banda district in Uttar Pradesh at 25°46′N 80°31′E / 25.767°N 80.517°E / 25.767; 80.517. It flows for 292 km (181 mi) in Madhya Pradesh, 84 km (52 mi) in Uttar Pradesh, and 51 km (32 mi) forms the boundary between the two states.^[3]^[4]

Crossing the Bijawar-Panna Plateau, the Ken River cuts a 60 km (37 mi) long, and 150–180 m (490–590 ft) deep gorge. Several streams join in this gorge making waterfalls. The Ken valley separates the Rewa Plateau from the Satna Plateau.^[5]
