The place is about 140 km as the crow flies northeast of the republic capital Kyzyl in the central part of the Todscha Basin , between the Eastern Sayan in the north and the Akademika-Obrucheva Mountains in the south. It is located on the right bank of the Great Yenisei (Bii-Chem), the right source river of the Yenisei , at the confluence of the eponymous Toora-Chem , which flows about 25 km southeast of Lake Todscha .

Toora-Chem is the administrative center of the Koschuuns ( Rajons ) Todschinski and the seat of the rural community (selskoje posselenije) Toora-Chemski sumon , which also includes the village of Saldam, which is almost immediately downstream (northwest).

history

The village was founded in 1883 as a settlement by Russian Old Orthodox and soon developed into a regional trading center. After the creation of the independent Tuvinian People's Republic in 1921, the Todschinski choschun (today's form koschuun ), named after the region and based in Toora-Chem, was one of the first seven administrative units created. It continued to exist even after the annexation of the republic to the Soviet Union and without interruption until today.
