Vidarbha River lies in the region of Vidarbha on the northern part of Deccan Plateau.

Geographically Vidarbha lies on the northern part of Deccan Plateau and the Vidarbha River lies in this hilly terrain. There are no major hilly areas like the Western Ghats. The Satpura Range is the northern boundary of the region in Madhya Pradesh, while the Melghat area of Amaravati district lies in the southern region of Satpura ranges.

The topography of the river course is full of large basaltic rocks arrangement throughout caused by Deccan trap lava. Vidarbha River is known to deliver black "cotton" soil.
