The **Chilli** (Russian: Чилли) or **Chilii** (Russian: Чилии) is a river in [Yakutia](/source/Yakutia) (Sakha Republic), [Russian Federation](/source/Russian_Federation). It is a right hand tributary of the [Tyukyan](/source/Tyukyan) of the [Vilyuy](/source/Vilyuy) basin. The river is 349 kilometres (217 mi) long and has a [drainage basin](/source/Drainage_basin) of 5,290 square kilometres (2,040 sq mi).[1]

The Chilli flows across [Nyurbinsky District](/source/Nyurbinsky_District); there are no permanent settlements near it.[2][3]

## Course

The Chilli is the longest tributary of the Tyukyan. The river begins in the [Central Siberian Plateau](/source/Central_Siberian_Plateau). It flows roughly southeastwards across the eastern limits of the upland, descending into the [Central Yakutian Lowland](/source/Central_Yakutian_Lowland). Much of its wide [floodplain](/source/Floodplain) is marshy and the river flows slowly, forming [meanders](/source/Meander) in the plain. Finally it joins the right bank of the Tyukyan 49 km (30 mi) from its mouth in the Vilyuy River.[2]

The main tributaries of the Chilli are the 72 kilometres (45 mi) long Ikee (Икээ) on the left and the 41 kilometres (25 mi) long Iireleekh (Иирэлээх) on the right. The river is fed by snow and rain and its largest water flow is in May. It freezes between October and late May.[1][3][4]
