Which river flows through the Thar Desert?
Last Updated:
This question examines an important river-or-lake fact: “Which river flows through the Thar Desert?” The correct answer is Luni. The Luni River flows through the Thar Desert in Rajasthan. It originates from the Pushkar Valley in the Aravalli Hills near Ajmer and flows into the Rann of Kutch in Gujarat. The Luni is notable as it flows through the desert but dries up after passing Balotra. A river system includes its source, tributaries, distributaries, drainage basin, watershed, channel, floodplain, delta or estuary and final outlet. River behaviour depends on relief, geology, rainfall, snowmelt, sediment load, vegetation and human intervention.
