Khilgo

The Khilgo, known in Russian as the Khilok, flows through the valleys of Transbaikalia to join the Selenga. Rising at Lake Arakhley, it winds west between wooded hills and mountain ranges before turning towards the larger river. Its waters form part of the drainage of Lake Baikal. The river and its valley cross a region where forest and steppe meet, opening a passage through the highlands east of the lake.
