Dorong is a natural monument of Russia because of its landscapes.[3] The valley of the lake acts as a corridor and is usually very windy.[4]
The lake is located at the southwestern corner of the Southern Muya Range, near where it merges with the Ikat Range. It is a deep and elongated lake, bound by steep mountains on both sides. The Dorong stretches roughly from north to south for 8.5 km (5.3 mi) and has a width of about 1 km (0.62 mi) which remains fairly constant along the length of the lake. The Tocha river, belonging to the Tsipa basin, enters the lake from the north and flows out of it from the south.[1][5][4]
