Naryn (/nəˈrɪn/ nə-RIN; Kyrgyz: Нарын [nɑrɯ́n]) is the regional administrative center of Naryn Region in central Kyrgyzstan. Its area is 84 square kilometres (32 sq mi),[2] and its estimated population was 41,178 as of January 2021.[1] The town was established as a fortress on the caravan route in 1868.[3] It is situated on both banks of the river Naryn (one of the main headwaters of the Syr Darya), which cuts a picturesque gorge through the town. The city has two regional museums and some hotels, but is otherwise residential.
