The Karenga (Russian: Каренга) is a river in Zabaykalsky Krai, southern East Siberia, Russia. It is 366 kilometres (227 mi) long, and has a drainage basin of 10,100 square kilometres (3,900 sq mi).[1] The area through which the river flows is inhabited by indigenous Tungus people.[2]
There are Neolithic archaeological sites near the mouth of the river where ancient ceramic remains belonging to the Ust-Karenga Culture have been found.[3][4]
