Karaftit

Karaftit lies in the wooded highlands of the Vitimkan basin, beside a stream that joins the river from the south. The Vitimkan flows east through the hills and joins the China to form the Vitim, one of the great tributaries of the Lena. Valleys and ridges divide this part of the Baikal uplands into many small waterways, leading from the forested interior towards the northern rivers.
