The Mana (Russian: Ма́на) is a river in Krasnoyarsk Krai, Russia, a right tributary of the Yenisey. The Mana has a length of 475 kilometres (295 mi) and a basin area of 9,320 square kilometres (3,600 sq mi).[1][2]

The Mana is a popular place of rafting tourism,[3] mostly on the calm, easily passable part of the river beginning from the Beret village or more difficult, from the village of Bolshoy Ungut.[4] The place called Manskiy Plyos near Ust-Mana is very popular for holding various festivals, such as the traditional festival of bard songs.
