Bul'bukhta

The Bulbukhta flows through the Patom mountain country in the basin of the Zhuya and Chara. Its tributaries cut narrow valleys between ridges, where larch, pine and spruce grow beneath slopes covered with dwarf Siberian pine. The Chara eventually joins the Olyokma, carrying the waters of this inland highland to the Lena. The rivers change sharply between winter ice and the summer melt.
