Course

The Bambuyka is a left tributary of the Vitim. Its sources are in a small lake close to the southwestern slope of Muisky Gigant, the highest peak of the Southern Muya Range. The river flows first in a SSE direction across mountainous terrain. It bends east close to the east of a sharp bend of the Tsipa and flows roughly in an eastward direction. Then it bends again and flows southeastwards. In its lower course it bends gradually, meandering northeastwards in a floodplain, until it finally meets the left bank of the Vitim from its mouth in the Lena.

Tributaries

The longest tributaries of the Bambuyka are the long Bambukoy on the left, as well as the long Pashkov-Klyuch and the long Golyube on the right.
