Course
editThe Myla is a right tributary of the Lena. It is formed near Khocho village in a taiga area with numerous small lakes. The river heads in a roughly northwestern direction, between the Tamma to the south and the Suola to the north across Megino-Kangalassky District. In the upper course there are stretches where it flows across lakes and parts where it may dry up in certain years. After flowing across the Lena floodplain, the Myla meets the Khaptagay arm of the right bank of the Lena 1,526 kilometres (948 mi) from its source near the village of Khaptagay, south of Yakutsk.[3][2]
The largest tributary of the Myla is the 13 kilometres (8.1 mi) long Bez Nazvaniya (без названия) from the right. The river freezes between October and May.[1]
