The Mati river originates at the confluence of the Levaya Mati and Pravaya Mati mountain rivers in the northern
Dzhugdzhur mountain slopes. It heads first roughly westwards and then northwestwards,
meandering in the
floodplain in its lower course.
Tributaries The main tributaries of the Mati are the long Mira and the long Kostyor from the left, as well as the long Malinovaya (Machekha), the long Cheryomukhovaya (Khusharin) and the long Birandya from the right. There are a few lakes close to the river channel in its last stretch. map showing the northern shore of the Sea of Okhotsk. ==See also==
