The Dzhida (Russian: Джида) is a river in the south of Buryatia, Russia, a left tributary of the Selenga.[1][2] It is 567 kilometres (352 mi) long, and has a drainage basin of 23,500 square kilometres (9,100 sq mi).[3]
Geography[edit]
One of the largest rivers of Buryatia originates in the extreme west of the Khangarul ridge, 3 km east of the Russian-Mongolian border.[4] The first third of the current Dzhida runs in a narrow gorge from northwest to southeast along the mountain taiga in the west of the Zakamensky district. Near the city of Zakamensk, the river turns to the east and flows parallel to the Dzhidinskiy ridge (from the south) and the Maly Khamar-Daban ridge (from the north). Below Zakamensk, the gorges of the river valley alternate with extended areas.
Within the Dzhida region, the river takes a more calm character, the valley expands. In the lower reaches the river flows along the southern edge of the Borgoy steppe. 8 km below the village of Dzhida the river flows into Selengu opposite the саenbėn ulus. In the lower reaches, above the station of Dzhida, the riverbed crosses the southern line of the East Siberian Railway Ulan-Ude-Naushki. For 150 km along the left, northern, bank of the river between the villages Oyor and Dutulur passes the regional road P440 Gusinoozersk - Zakamensk (Dzhidinskiy trakt).
