It is 172 kilometres (107 mi) long, and its area of drainage basin is 5,270 square kilometres (2,030 sq mi). The source of the river is located in the north of Perm Krai, near the border with the Komi Republic, in Cherdynsky District. Its confluence with the Kama lies to the north of the village of Chepets.
