The Tumara (Russian: Тумара; Yakut: Тумара) is a river in the Sakha Republic (Yakutia), Russia, a right tributary of the Aldan, part of the Lena basin. It flows across an area that is largely desolate, except for Segyan-Kyuyol village.[1] The Tumara has a length of 236 kilometres (147 mi) and a drainage basin area of 10,300 square kilometres (4,000 sq mi).[2] The river is a destination for rafting.[3]
The name of the river comes from the Yakut language tumara, meaning "tundra".[4]
