Course

The Chibagalakh River begins at the confluence of the Tabanda-Seene (Табанда-Сээнэ) and Kanelibit rivers in the Chibagalakh Range of the Chersky Range. It heads roughly eastwards through a valley located between the Chemalgin Range on the northern side and the Chibagalakh Range on the southern. Finally it joins the left bank of the Indigirka 1,184 km (736 mi) from its mouth.[3]

The river usually freezes in early October and stays frozen until late May or early June. Lake Tabanda's outflow is a right hand tributary of the river.[3]
