The Nercha (Russian: Нерча, Buryat: Нэршүү, Nershüü; Mongolian: Нэрчүү, Nerchüü) is a river in Zabaykalsky Krai in Russia, left tributary of the Shilka[1] (Amur's basin). The length of the river is 580 kilometres (360 mi). The area of its basin is 27,500 square kilometres (10,600 sq mi).[2] The Nercha freezes up in October and stays icebound until late April – early May. The town of Nerchinsk is located on the Nercha,[lower-alpha 1] 7 kilometres (4 mi) from its confluence with the Shilka.
