Geography

The area Naryn consists mainly of high mountains and plateaus, most of which are over 2000 m high. To the north is the mountain Songköl, which is the second largest lake in the country after the Issyk Kul. The Naryn river runs through the area from east to west and is thereby accumulated several times.

Traffic

Of the two major roads leads one of Kochkor ( with connections from Bishkek ) over the 3030 m high Dolon Pass in the territory's capital. To the south it at 3752 m high Turugart - pass the Chinese border. The other road opens up to the north of the area and connects Kochkor over the 3586 m high Teo - ASUU Pass with Kara- Balta, where there is also a connection to Bishkek.
