Zed

Zed lies in the upper country of the Dzhida River, near the forested mountain ranges south of Lake Baikal. The Dzhida begins in the Khangarul ridge and flows through a narrow gorge among mountain taiga before turning east. Farther downstream the valley widens, and the river follows the edge of the Borgoy steppe to meet the Selenga, carrying its waters onward to Baikal.
