Kama (Russian: река́ Ка́ма; Tatar: Çulman) is a river in Russia, the longest left tributary of the Volga. It starts in Udmurtia flowing east, then turns south and west in Perm Krai, flowing again through Udmurtia and then through Tatarstan, where it meets the Volga. The overall length is 1805 km. The largest tributaries to the Kama are Kosa, Vishera, Sylva, Chusovaya, Belaya, and Vyatka Rivers. The cities situated on the banks of the Kama are Solikamsk, Berezniki, Perm, Sarapul, and Naberezhnye Chelny. It is located to the west of the Ural Mts. and is a fairly well used trade route.
