The Nuchcha is a right
tributary of the Chondon. It has its sources in the northern slopes of the
Kyun-Tas range. The river flows roughly northwards within a valley. After it leaves the mountainous terrain it heads across the
Yana-Indigirka Lowland floodplain to the southwest of the
Sellyakh. It flows slowly through flat terrain where it
meanders very strongly among numerous lakes. Finally the river joins the Chondon from its mouth.
Tumat, the nearest inhabited place, is located nearly upstream of the confluence.
Tributaries The main tributaries of the Nuchcha are the long
Bylaat-Yurege (Былаат-Юрэгэ) and the long Buruuchaan-Yurege (Буруучаан-Юрюйэ) on the right, as well as the long Ekechan (Экэчан) on the left. The river is frozen between the beginning of October and the beginning of June. There are more than 1,300 lakes in its basin. ==See also==
