The '''Kunthipuzha River''' is a waterway located in the state of [[Kerala]], [[India]]. It flows through the [[Silent Valley National Park]], and is a tributary of the river [[Thuthapuzha]], which is in turn one of the main tributaries of the [[Bharathapuzha River]],<ref>{{Cite web|title=(PDF) International Journal of Zoology Studies A comparative analysis of the avifauna of kalpathypuzha, kunthypuzha and Nila River basins|url=https://www.researchgate.net/publication/341901074_International_Journal_of_Zoology_Studies_A_comparative_analysis_of_the_avifauna_of_kalpathypuzha_kunthypuzha_and_Nila_River_basins|access-date=2021-07-09|website=ResearchGate|language=en}}</ref> the second-longest river in Kerala.

"Kunthirikkam" is the Malayalam word for [[Boswellia serrata]] which is a kind of frankincense tree seen in this region.<br />
==Course==<br />
The Kunthipuzha River originates from the [[Anginda peak]] in the [[Silent Valley National Park]] part of the [[Western Ghats]] in [[Kerala]]. Initially it flows through the tropical evergreen forests and mountainous terrain of the [[Silent Valley National Park]]. Then it enters into the [[Palakkad Gap|Palakkad plains]] where it passes several towns namely, [[Kottoppadam, Mannarkkad|Kottopadam]], [[Mannarkkad|Mannarkad]], [[Kumaramputhur]], [[Karimpuzha, Palakkad|Karimpuzha]], [[Sreekrishnapuram]], [[Vellinezhi]], [[Thachanattukara]], [[Aliparamba|Aliparambu]], [[Maravamangalam|Marayamangalam]], [[Elamkulam, Malappuram|Elamkulam]], [[Pulamantol|Pulamanthole]], [[Moorkkanad]], [[Vailathur|Vilathur]] and [[Magudeswarar Temple, Kodumudi|Kodumudy]]. The Kunthipuzha River then merges with the [[Bharathapuzha River]] at [[Irimbiliyam]]. <br />
