The Dyanyshka is a right tributary of the Lena and flows across mountainous terrain all along its upper course. It forms at an altitude of roughly  at the confluence of rivers Dektende and Birandya, the latter having its source in the Echysky Massif, one of the subranges of the Verkhoyansk Range at the southern end of the Orulgan Range. The river flows roughly southwestwards all along its course cutting across the Selenchan Range and flanking the northwestern end of the Tagindzhin, Muosuchan and Bygyn ranges through a wide valley in its middle course with the northern end of the Kuturgin Range rising not far off its left bank. The river meanders and splits in slow-flowing arms already  from its mouth. In its last stretch it flows across a flat area at the edge of the Central Yakutian Lowland where there are many small lakes and marshes. Finally the Dyanyshka joins the right bank of the Lena  from its mouth. The river freezes yearly in mid-October and opens in late May or early June. It freezes to the bottom in its upper course. The river basin has 40 ice fields with a total area of approximately . River Dyanyshka has 54 tributaries with a length of more than 10 km.
