The Syungyude (Russian: Сюнгююдэ, Yakut: Сүҥгүдэ, Süŋgüde) is a river in the Sakha Republic (Yakutia), Russia. It is the largest tributary of the Molodo, of the Lena basin. Its length is 466km (290miles) and the area of its basin 9550km2.

The Syungyude flows across the Zhigansky and Bulunsky district. The banks of the river are uninhabited.

Geography

The Syungyude originates in the eastern Central Siberian Plateau. In its upper course it flows southeast for a long distance, finally descending into a floodplain. It meanders strongly just north of the Motorchuna, flowing parallel to it until it turns northeast and then NNE in a wide arc. In its last stretch the Syungyude flows roughly northwards with the floodplain of the Lena to the east. It runs parallel to the great river until it joins the right bank of the Molodo 167km (104miles) upstream of its mouth in the Lena.[1] [2]
