Course

The Taui river, as the Kava, is formed at an elevation of at the confluence of rivers Rasava and Lozovaya flowing from the Kheidzhan Range, Upper Kolyma Highlands.
The Taui flows first southeastwards and then roughly eastwards along the Kava-Taui Plain, a wide floodplain. In its last stretch it enters an area of wetlands. Finally it flows into the Amakhton Bay, part of the Taui Bay of the Sea of Okhotsk. Its mouth lies west of the Arman lagoon and just southwest of the mouth of the Yana. The river freezes before mid October and stays frozen until mid May.
The Kheidzhan Range separates the Taui basin from the Inya basin to the west. The main tributary of the Taui is the long Chyolomdzha that joins it in its lower course from the left.
