It rises in the Khentii Mountains near the Mongolian border. From there it flows north, later northeast through a wide valley between Jablonowygebirge and Tscherskigebirge. In Chita, she turns to the southeast, breaks through the main ridge of the Tscherskigebirges and joins after about a further 150 kilometers to the east with the Onon to Shilka.

The lower reaches of the Ingoda is navigable.
