Lakitan

The Lakitan is a tributary of the Musi in the forested interior of southern Sumatra. Its waters descend from the western hills and join the larger river at Muara Lakitan, linking a network of smaller streams with the route towards Palembang. The river and its banks support fish and other wildlife, including the rare hairy-nosed otter. Seasonal rains can swell the waterways and spread water across the low ground beside their courses.
