The Irkut (Russian: Ирку́т; Buryat and Mongolian: Эрхүү гол, Erhüü gol) is a river in the Buryat Republic and Irkutsk Oblast of Russia. It is a left tributary of the Angara. It flows out of lake Ilchir which is situated 50 km away from the highest peak of the Eastern Sayan Mountains, Munku-Sardyk. The length of the river is 488 kilometers (303 mi). The area of its basin is 15,000 square kilometers (5,800 sq mi).[1] The Irkut freezes up in late October or mid-November and stays icebound until late April or early May.
