The Menkere is a right tributary of the Lena. It is formed on the western slopes of the Orulgan Range of the Verkhoyansk Range system, at the confluence of two long mountain rivers, the  long Syncha and the  long Nyoloon. It flows first roughly westwards. After leaving the mountains it heads southwestwards into the Central Yakutian Lowland, forming meanders in the flat permafrost floodplain. After a stretch it bends and flows roughly northwestwards. Finally it bends again and heads westwards for a stretch until it joins the right bank of the Lena  from its mouth, near the mouth of the Motorchuna in the opposite bank. The longest tributary of the Menkere is the  long Dyuyogyesinde from the left. By the river are ice fields with total area of . The last half of the river course describes a wide, roughly semicircular, arch around the southern area of Ulakhan-Kyuel lake. Fauna
