The '''Thejaswini River''' originates from the western slopes of the [[Talakaveri Wildlife Sanctuary|Greater Talacauvery National Park]] in the [[Brahmagiri (Karnataka)|Brahmagiri]] hill ranges of the [[Western Ghats]] in [[Karnataka]]. Initially the river flows through several eastern hilly towns of the [[Kasargod district]] namely, [[Kozhichal]], Odakolly, [[Palavayal]], [[Pulingome]], [[Thayyeni|Theyyeni]], Nallompuzha, [[Cherupuzha (Mavoor)|Cherupuzha]], Kadumeni, Kamballur, [[Vayakkara]], [[Peralasseri|Peralam]], Bedhur, Perumbatta and [[Cheemeni]]. The river then enters the [[Malabar coast|Malabar plains]] where it passes the towns of [[Karindalam|Karinthalam]], Choyamkode, [[Kayyur|Kayyoor]], [[Kilayikode]] and [[Nileshwaram]]. At reaching Nileshwaram, it's tributary [[Kariangode River]] merges with it. Thejaswini then flows through Kariyil, Thuruthy and Thaikkadappuram. At Thuruthy, it bends south emptying into the [[Kavvayi Backwaters|Kavvayi estuary]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Nileshwaram|title=Nileshwaram – Travel guide at Wikivoyage|website=en.wikivoyage.org|language=en|access-date=2018-08-23}}</ref><br />
