Kulu

The Kulu is formed by the Khudzhakh and Kenyelichi, rivers rising on the eastern spurs of the Suntar-Khayata mountains. It flows through rugged highland country, alternating deeper reaches with shallow, swift riffles. At its junction with the Ayan-Yuryakh the Kolyma begins its long course northward to the East Siberian Sea. The Kulu therefore gathers part of the headwaters of one of the great rivers of the Arctic northeast.
