Argata

The Argada descends from the Ikat Range to join the Barguzin in the broad valley east of Lake Baikal. Its waters flow through a basin enclosed by the Ikat and Barguzin mountains, where wooded slopes rise above the river flats. The Barguzin carries the combined waters southwest to Barguzin Bay on Baikal. The river valley forms a natural passage between the highlands and the great lake.
