The Nuchcha is a right tributary of the Chondon. It has its sources in the northern slopes of the Kyun-Tas range. The river flows roughly northwards within a valley. After it leaves the mountainous terrain it heads across the Yana-Indigirka Lowland floodplain to the southwest of the Sellyakh. It flows slowly through flat terrain where it meanders very strongly among numerous lakes. Finally the river joins the Chondon  from its mouth. Tumat, the nearest inhabited place, is located nearly  upstream of the confluence. Tributaries  
The main tributaries of the Nuchcha are the  long Bylaat-Yurege (Былаат-Юрэгэ) and the  long Buruuchaan-Yurege (Буруучаан-Юрюйэ) on the right, as well as the  long Ekechan (Экэчан) on the left. The river is frozen between the beginning of October and the beginning of June. There are more than 1,300 lakes in its basin. See also
