Churapcha (Russian: Чурапча́; Yakut: Чурапчы, Çurapçı) is a rural locality (a selo) and the administrative center of Churapchinsky District in the Sakha Republic, Russia.
[6]Churapcha is located by the lake of the same name, which drains to the left of the Tatta River, a tributary of the Aldan flowing a few kilometers to the southeast.
The town lies 178 kilometers (111 mi) east of the republic's capital of Yakutsk in the basin of the Aldan River, a tributary of the Lena.
The road passed through very rough and isolated terrain and was never fully operational, eventually being officially closed in 1852.
In 1930, Churapcha became the administrative center of Churapchinsky District and soon thereafter was connected by road to the outside world through the construction of the Kolyma Highway.
