Course

The river begins in the Byldanyany Lake, a small lake with a surface of 1 square kilometre (0.39 sq mi) located in the Lena Plateau.[3] Its upper course is in the southern part of Khangalassky District close to the A360 Lena Highway, not far from Aldan District.[4] It flows roughly southeastwards. The Lyutenge meets the right bank of the Lena by Kerdyom village, opposite the town of Pokrovsk and 1,577 km (980 mi) from the Lena's mouth.[5]

The Lyutenge River freezes between October and May. The main tributaries of the Lyutenge are the Kuon Kachah, Berdigasteheh, Kedige (Ulakhan-Kuudaly), Kuraanakh, Eselaheh and Kuuduman.[4]
