Course

The river begins in the Lena Plateau at an elevation of 317 metres (1,040 ft). It flows roughly northwards through a wide valley with the larger Ulakhan-Botuobuya runnning parallel to it further to the west. Finally it joins river Vilyuy from the right near Khampa village. The river freezes between October and late May.[3]

The main tributaries of the Ochchuguy-Botuobuya are the Irelyakh and the Kharya Yuryakh. The town of Almazny is located at the confluence of the Ochchuguy Botuobuya and the Irelyakh.[4]
