The Anabar arises as a Grand Kuonamka approximately 325 km north of the Arctic Circle in the southern part of the Anabarplateaus, the northern part of the Central Siberian Uplands. Its source is at about 700 m height, close east of the border of the Krasnoyarsk region east of the main ridge of an undertaking in this neighboring region and in the mountain " Wysoki " ( ⊙ 69.528888888889105.7675 ) to 829 m high plateau region.

First, the Anabar (Grand Kuonamka ) mainly flows eastward in the southern and eastern parts of the Anabarplateaus through sparsely populated landscapes, but it happens, for example, the very widely separated settlements Soika Sergeja and - after a northbound section of the river - Staraya. Then he turns to the east and reaches about 480 km north of the Arctic Circle after around 559 kilometers of river, which is the total length of the Great Kuonamka, (often referred to as a right- source river ) the location at about 16 m height confluence of flowing from the south little Kuonamka which is 457 km long.

From this confluence the only Anabar said power means the Siberian Plateau runs, gradually leaving in its middle reaches in the north continues through almost uninhabited landscapes, but he affected the village lying on its east bank Saskylach; as there reaches of the river, the North Siberian Lowland, that it flows in its lower reaches. Much further north, he also touches something located above the left side Charabyl - mouth and also on the east bank Anabar village Jurjung - Haya, where the future of the endpoint of property under construction Anabar highway will be.

Approximately 56 river miles below Jurjung - Haya opens the Anabar - after open out of flowing from the west Suolema - to 0 m in the southern part of his Anabarbucht mentioned estuary ( estuary ), to enable its flowing through the Anabargolf, a golf belonging to the Arctic Ocean Laptev Sea to flow. The Anabar estuary lies between those of the currents Chatanga ( Chatangagolf ) in the west and Olenjok ( Olenjokgolf ) in the east.
