It flows through the Darkhad Valley in northwestern Khövsgöl aimag, Mongolia and then westward through the Ulaan Taiga Mountain range to Russia. There it is joined by the Büsein River and Bilin Rivers to form the Kyzyl-Khem. Of its 680 km[citation needed] length, 298 are in Mongolia. A bridge has been erected near Renchinlkhümbe sum center.
