Khurbe

The Khurbe, or Kurba, is a river of the wooded country east of Lake Baikal. Its upper waters descend from the southern slopes of the Ulan-Burgasy range, and the river flows onward to join the Uda, itself a tributary of the Selenga. Forested mountains surround its valley, while the river bends across the wider lowlands near its mouth. In Buryat tradition its name is associated with the hero Babzha-Baras Bator.
