Naryn

Few cities in Naryn Region have a history as closely tied to Russia’s nineteenth-century advance into the Tian Shan as Naryn. Founded as a Russian military post in 1868, it developed into the administrative centre of Kyrgyzstan’s largest region. The town follows the Naryn River through a long highland valley, enclosed by the dry, open ranges of the central Tian Shan. Naryn remains closely connected with Kyrgyz pastoral life: horses, felt-making and the seasonal movement of herds shape the surrounding countryside. Its position on the road towards the Chinese border gives the town a practical, working character. Discover other points of interest through webcams located across Naryn Region.
