Khandyga, Administrative settlement in Tomponsky District, Sakha Republic, Russia.

Khandyga sits at the northeast corner of the Aldan River, where the waterway makes a notable turn from north to west direction.

The settlement emerged in 1939 as a construction base for the Kolyma Highway, later becoming a key point for aircraft transportation during World War II.

The settlement maintains both Russian and Yakut names, reflecting the multicultural nature of the Sakha Republic where it stands.

The R504 Kolyma Highway passes through Khandyga, connecting the settlement to other regions while the local airport facilitates air transportation.

Between 1951 and 1954, Khandyga functioned as the base for Yanstroy, part of the extensive labor camp system in northeastern Russia.
