==Course== The Upper Angara rises at about {{convert|1600|m|abbr=on}} in an area of small [[glacial lake]]s of the [[Delyun-Uran]] range, right by the [[Northern Muya Range]], [[Stanovoy Highlands]]. It its upper course the river flows in a WSW direction across mountainous terrain, with [[rapids]] and waterfalls. It enters then a [[floodplain]] and crosses the spurs of the [[Upper Angara Range|Upper Angara]] and the [[Barguzin Range|Barguzin]] ranges. Near [[Yanchukan]] it flows through the Upper Angara tectonic basin. Finally it ends in Lake Baikal forming a delta in the shallow northern end of the lake, separated from the deep part by long sandy spits, including [[Yarki Island]]. The Upper Angara is navigable in its last stretch.<ref name=WR>[https://water-rf.ru/%D0%92%D0%BE%D0%B4%D0%BD%D1%8B%D0%B5_%D0%BE%D0%B1%D1%8A%D0%B5%D0%BA%D1%82%D1%8B/1083/%D0%92%D0%B5%D1%80%D1%85%D0%BD%D1%8F%D1%8F_%D0%90%D0%BD%D0%B3%D0%B0%D1%80%D0%B0 Верхняя Ангара - Water of Russia], ''water-rf.ru''</ref> The main tributaries of the Upper Angara are the {{convert|64|km|mi|abbr=on}} long Angarakan, the {{convert|87|km|mi|abbr=on}} long [[Yanchui]], the {{convert|124|km|mi|abbr=on}} long [[Churo]] and the {{convert|245|km|mi|abbr=on}} long [[Kotera (river)|Kotera]].<ref name=gvr/> {| |- valign="top" |[[File:Enisey.png|thumb|220px|Yenisei basin with the Upper Angara at the NE end of Lake Baikal.]] |[[File:Upper Angara Range ONC E-8.jpg|thumb|360px|Upper Angara Range and Upper Angara River.]] |}
