The Kalar Range is a mountain range entering the Stanovoy Highlands of the Northern Transbaikalia and located within the borders of the Transbaikal Territory and the Amur Region of the Russian Federation.
It stretches from Vitim on the southwest side to Olekma in the northeast. The length of the Kalar ridge is approximately 400 kilometers, and the width varies from 30 to 50 kilometers. Standard heights - 1800-2200 meters. The highest point - Rocky Golec - 2519 meters.
The ridge consists of granite and metamorphosed rocks. Flat peaks are common on the west side, and alpine peaks are common on the east. There are small glaciers and traces of ancient glaciation - glaciers and moraine ridges. The main vegetation is represented by mountain taiga and rare forest. Copper deposits are common here.
After the construction of the BAM highway, which runs through the ridge, it became available for tourism.
