The **Tumcha** (Russian: Тумча, Finnish: *Tuntsajoki*) is a [river](/source/River) in the south of the [Kola Peninsula](/source/Kola_Peninsula) in [Murmansk Oblast](/source/Murmansk_Oblast), [Russia](/source/Russia). It is 20 kilometers (12 mi) in length. The area of its [basin](/source/Drainage_basin) is 5,240 square kilometers (2,020 sq mi). The river originates in the confluence of the rivers [Kutsayoki](/source/Kutsayoki) and [Tuntsayoki](/source/Tuntsayoki) and flows into the [Iova Reservoir](/source/Iova_Reservoir) which is drained by the [Kovda](/source/Kovda).

The Tumcha River carries its waters in the very north of Karelia and in the Murmansk region, already beyond the Arctic Circle.

The harsh beauty of the northern taiga, a series of interesting rapids, an abundance of mushrooms and berries (according to the season) — all this is prepared by the river for its guests.
