The Menkere is a right
tributary of the Lena. It is formed on the western slopes of the
Orulgan Range of the
Verkhoyansk Range system, at the confluence of two long mountain rivers, the long Syncha and the long Nyoloon. It flows first roughly westwards. After leaving the mountains it heads southwestwards into the
Central Yakutian Lowland, forming
meanders in the flat
permafrost floodplain. After a stretch it bends and flows roughly northwestwards. Finally it bends again and heads westwards for a stretch until it joins the right bank of the Lena from its mouth, near the mouth of the
Motorchuna in the opposite bank. The longest tributary of the Menkere is the long
Dyuyogyesinde from the left. ==Fauna==
