The sources of the Left Mama are located on the northwestern slopes of the Verkhneangarsky ridge. Having received many tributaries, the Left Mama then merges with the Right Mama and forms the Mama River, which flows into Vitim.
The route begins in the village of Uoyan (see route 101), where you need to cross the Upper Angara and climb along it about 4 km to the first river - Aldomakit. After 50 m, a path goes north to Left Mama. After 20 km it leads to a small tributary of the Upper Angara - Anamakita Angarsky and then goes up this river. The trail passes from bank to bank several times, then gradually rises to an indistinct pass in the Verkhneangarsky ridge.
Descent from the pass - to Anamakit Mamsky, which flows into the Left Mama with several branches. At the exit point of the Left Mama trail, it is quite wide and full of water. On the right bank there is a rare pine forest; you can find material for a wooden raft. From here it is possible to raft on any tourist boat. If the group has time, it makes sense to go up the river to the place where the large right tributary of the Ogienda Masquite flows into it and admire the Mama Falls.
Below the Anamakit mouth the river is calm; deep reaches filled with transparent, slightly greenish water give way to short sandy rifts. The river meanders a lot, at times it almost stops (when moving on a raft you have to grab poles), and where it goes the most to the west, the water generally stands still. You should be careful: next is the first and very serious obstacle - the “Straight Threshold” with a total length of about 500 m with a height difference of about 15 m. The river narrows from 100 to 30, and then to 10 m. All in white foam, the water rushes in a narrow , a rock-filled vent. On the right bank there is a good trail for skidding. If the group is not completely confident in successfully passing the threshold, it is better not to risk it and drop the raft without people; it will pass the threshold and get stuck in the rocks at the exit.
After the rapids, the Left Mama spills over more than 400 m between sandy islands to gather in one channel just before the mouth of a small right tributary, the Delika. After about 5 km, the most difficult cascade of rapids on the Deliksky River begins with a total length of 3 - 4 km. There are 5 rapids in total, the most difficult is the first, 1.5 km long (strong current, mass of stones, leaving no time for maneuver). This threshold has not yet been completely passed by tourists. The next rapids are significantly inferior to the first and are more like shivers. You can go around the Delik Cascade along the path on the left bank.
Beyond the threshold, Left Mama is divided into sleeves, many of them are clogged with rubble, and there are small rifts in the free passages. Further, calm sections alternate with rifts of varying complexity: for example, a long complex rift is located in front of the mouth of the Bolshoi Ugdokit. After the confluence of the right tributary - the Tokinda, a threshold with a total length of 1.5 km, after another 2 km (2 km before the mouth of the left tributary - the Tala River) the next threshold (steep drainage, an abundance of large stones), ending with a strong pressure against the rock of the left bank. Then, before merging with the Right Mother, there are no serious obstacles, but there are shivers and quite powerful pressures.
At the confluence of the two Mamas, the valley is very wide, the banks rise gently, revealing a boundless sea of ​​Transbaikal forests. The river has become noticeably more full-flowing, obstacles include pressure points, and for wooden rafts, rocky rifts.
At the mouth of a large right tributary - Konkudery - there is a village: 20 houses, a weather station, a village council, a store. The route can be completed at the Komsomolsk-Molodezhny mine, from where boats regularly go down to the village of Mama. A plane flies from Mama to Irkutsk.
Rafting on the Right Mother, due to its low water content, is only possible on inflatable boats.

Toponymy

The name of the river is of Evenki origin. The Evenki root “mo” means “tree”, “ma” is a suffix denoting material and color, “moma” means “wooded”, that is, the name “Moma” meant a wooded place, later it changed into “Mama” - And beautiful, - he shouted. - He will take you with a dowry, and by the way, he will capture m lle Bourienne. She will be the wife, and you...
The prince stopped. He noticed the impression these words made on his daughter. She lowered her head and was about to cry.
“Well, well, just kidding, just kidding,” he said. “Remember one thing, princess: I adhere to the rules that a girl has every right to choose.” And I give you freedom. Remember one thing: the happiness of your life depends on your decision. There's nothing to say about me.
- Yes, I don’t know... mon pere.
- Nothing to say! They tell him, he doesn’t just marry you, whoever you want; and you are free to choose... Go to your room, think it over and in an hour come to me and say in front of him: yes or no. I know you will pray. Well, maybe pray. Just think better. Go. Yes or no, yes or no, yes or no! - he shouted even as the princess, as if in a fog, staggered out of the office.
Her fate was decided and decided happily. But what my father said about m lle Bourienne - this hint was terrible. It’s not true, let’s face it, but it was still terrible, she couldn’t help but think about it. She walked straight ahead through the winter garden, seeing and hearing nothing, when suddenly the familiar whisper of M lle Bourienne woke her up. She raised her eyes and, two steps away, saw Anatole, who was hugging the Frenchwoman and whispering something to her. Anatole, with a terrible expression on his beautiful face, looked back at Princess Marya and did not release the waist of m lle Bourienne, who did not see her, at the first second.
"Who is here? For what? Wait!" Anatole’s face seemed to speak. Princess Marya looked at them silently. She couldn't understand it. Finally, M lle Bourienne screamed and ran away, and Anatole bowed to Princess Marya with a cheerful smile, as if inviting her to laugh at this strange incident, and, shrugging his shoulders, walked through the door leading to his half.
An hour later Tikhon came to call Princess Marya. He called her to the prince and added that Prince Vasily Sergeich was there. The princess, when Tikhon arrived, was sitting on the sofa in her room and holding the crying Mlla Bourienne in her arms. Princess Marya quietly stroked her head. The beautiful eyes of the princess, with all their former calm and radiance, looked with tender love and regret at the pretty face of m lle Bourienne.
“Non, princesse, je suis perdue pour toujours dans votre coeur, [No, princess, I have forever lost your favor,” said m lle Bourienne.
– Pourquoi? “Je vous aime plus, que jamais,” said Princess Marya, “et je tacherai de faire tout ce qui est en mon pouvoir pour votre bonheur.” [Why? I love you more than ever, and I will try to do everything in my power for your happiness.]

The Mama River is a left tributary of the Vitim and flows through the territory of Buryatia and the Irkutsk region. It is formed at the confluence of the Right Mama and Left Mama rivers. From the source of the Left Mama, the length of the river is 406 km, the basin area is 18.9 thousand km². The distance from the confluence of the Left and Right mothers is 211 km. The river basin has 842 lakes with total area 55.9 km².

The Left Mama River originates from the northern slopes of the Verkhneangarsky ridge. The Mama's tributaries include the Krasnaya, Konkudera, Bolshie Ugli, Yakdakar, Malye Ugli, Kaverga, and Monyukan rivers. For about 110 km from the mouth of the Mama, it is navigable.

Fishing and relaxation on the Mama River

The river is fed mainly by rain. The flood continues from May to September. The river is covered with ice from October to May. Summer rain floods are frequent.

There are pine forests on the banks of the river. The Mama River is quite popular with tourists who raft along the rapids (the Delika Cascade of Rapids is considered especially difficult) or admire the Mama waterfalls.

In the river basin there are mica deposits, the development and extraction of which was carried out along the banks. On the left bank of the Mama, at the mouth of the river, on the spit of the Mama and Vitim, is the village of Mama, once famous for its unique deposit of muscovite mica. To transport it, a concrete runway was even built in the village, capable of receiving heavy transport aircraft. Now the mica reserves have been depleted, and therefore exploration and search for mica were stopped in 1994.
