The Pasha is the largest of Svir's tributaries. It is 242 km long, and the area of its basin 6650 km2. Its largest tributary is the Kapsha (right).
The source of the Pasha is in Lake Pashozero in Tikhvinsky District in the northeast of Leningrad Oblast. The river flows southwest, accepts the Kapsha from the right, and close to the village of Novoye Selo turns north. The Pasha crosses into Volkhovsky District and downstream of the village of Vonga turns northwest. It joins the Svir just 8 km away from Svir's mouth, in the settlement of Sviritsa.
The drainage basin of the Pasha includes large areas in the northeast of Leningrad Oblast. These lie in the center and the east of Tikhvinsky District, in the south of Lodeynopolsky District, in the northeast of Boksitogorsky District, as well as in the northwest of Volkhovsky District. A number of big lakes lie in the Pasha basin, including Lake Pashozero, Lake Kapshozero, Lake Lerinskoye, and Lake Korvalskoye.
The lowest 25 km of the river course, downstream of the settlement of Rybezhno, are listed as navigable in the State Water Register of Russia.
