The Khanda originates in the Sette-Daban slopes, not far west of the Skalisty Range, in the southern area of the Verkhoyansk mountain system. In the upper section of its course the river flows across mountainous terrain, heading roughly westwards and cutting across the Ulakhan-Bom. The river turns then northwestwards flanking the northern end of the Kyllakh Range. Finally the Khanda makes a wide bend to the southwest and meets the right bank of the Aldan River, about  downstream from the mouth of the Allakh-Yun,  from the confluence of the Aldan with the Lena River. The main tributaries of the Khanda are the  long Burkhala (Бурхала) and the  long Mutula (Мутула). The river freezes in October and stays frozen until May. See also
