The Pilyuda is a left
tributary of the Lena. It has its sources in the
Lena Plateau and flows at its southwestern limit. To the west of its basin the
Lower Tunguska of the
Yenisey basin, flows northwards. The Pilyuda heads in a roughly southern direction across a
taiga area of low, smooth hills. Finally, it meets the Lena from its mouth, opposite
Spoloshino, upstream from the mouth of the
Chechuy. The largest tributary of the Pilyuda is the long
Rassokha that joins it from the right. The river freezes yearly between October and May. ==See also==
