The Natara (Russian: Натара) is a river in Sakha Republic (Yakutia), Russia. It is a tributary of the Lena, having a length of 187 kilometres (116 mi) and a drainage basin area of 5,730 square kilometres (2,210 sq mi).[1] There are no settlements in its basin.

Course

The Natara is a right tributary of the Lena. Its source is located in the northern sector of the Verkhoyansk Range, on the western slope of the Dzhardzhan Range.[2] It flows in a roughly westward direction. After leaving the mountains it descends into the Central Yakutian Lowland until it joins the right bank of the Lena 551 km (342 mi) from its mouth.[3]

Its longest tributary is the 105 km (65 mi) long Seen-Yurekh that joins its left bank just 3 km (1.9 mi) upstream from its confluence with the Lena.[1]
