The Moyar River (also Mayar)[1] is one of the tributaries of the Bhavani, which itself is a tributary of the Kaveri in Tamil Nadu, South India. The Moyar river originates from a small town called Mayar off the Masinagudi–Ooty road. This is a natural line of separation between the state of Karnataka and Tamil Nadu and a separation between the forest of Bandipur National Park and the Mudumalai sanctuary to the south.[2] The Moyar River Gorge is 20 km (12 mi) long. The river flows into the gorge below Theppakadu in a roaring waterfall called Moyar Falls.[3] The Moyar meets the Bhavani River at the Bhavanisagar reservoir on the plains of Tamil Nadu near Satyamangalam.[4]
