The Laleia River (Portuguese: Ribeira de Laleia or Rio de Laleia, Tetum: Mota Laleia) is a major river in northeastern East Timor. It flows primarily in a northerly direction from headwaters in Timor's central mountains; after running through the eponymous Laleia Administrative Post, it discharges into Wetar Strait.[1]
