Course
The Ulakhan-Kyuegyulyur is the largest right tributary of the Omoloy. It has its sources in the western slopes of the Kular Range of the Verkhoyansk Range system. The river flows roughly in a NNE direction flanking the feet of the range. After it descends into the East Siberian Lowland, it heads in a northern direction until the end of its course. The river flows roughly parallel to the Omoloy further west, meandering in the floodplain. Finally the Ulakhan-Kyuegyulyur joins the right bank of the Omoloy {{convert|127|km|mi|abbr=on}} from its mouth. The confluence is {{convert|12|km|mi|abbr=on}} upstream of Khayyr village.{{cite web|url=https://maps.vlasenko.net/smtm1000/r-53_54.jpg|title=R-53_54 Topographic Chart (in Russian)|access-date=16 May 2022}}Google Earth
