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]
