==Course==

The Myla is a right tributary of the Lena. It is formed near Khocho village in a taiga area with numerous small lakes. The river heads in a roughly northwestern direction, between the Tamma to the south and the Suola to the north across Megino-Kangalassky District. In the upper course there are stretches where it flows across lakes and parts where it may dry up in certain years. After flowing across the Lena floodplain, the Myla meets the Khaptagay arm of the right bank of the Lena {{convert|1526|km|mi}} from its source near the village of Khaptagay, south of Yakutsk.Google Earth
