thumb|left|Anárjohka and the bridge to Karigasniemi in Finland The river has its sources at Lulit Bissovárri, at an elevation of in Kautokeino Municipality in Finnmark county, Norway, in the far south of the Finnmarksvidda plateau, in the southwestern parts of Anárjohka National Park. From there it flows towards the northeast through the national park, until it turns towards the east and joins the tributary Skiehččanjohkka and the border with Finland, where Lemmenjoki National Park is situated on the opposite side. After Basevuovdi the river turns north, and its largest tributary, the Goššjohka, joins it from the west. The only bridge over the Anarjohka is located at the Finnish village of Karigasniemi. At this border crossing the Norwegian and Finnish national highways meet, both numbered 92. At Raidesuolu, about further north, and some east of the village of Karasjok, the Anarjohka flows into the river Karasjohka, and together the two rivers form the Tana River.
