Khilgoson

Khilgoson lies in the Khilok valley of Transbaikalia, where the river crosses a landscape of wooded hills and open ground before joining the Selenga. Streams of the same name descend into this wider river country. Buryat communities inhabited the valley, whose waterways form part of the Lake Baikal basin. The neighbouring uplands and the valley floor offer a varied landscape between the mountain ranges of eastern Siberia.
