The Nuora (Russian: Нуора; Yakut: Нуора) is a river in the Sakha Republic (Yakutia), Russia, a right tributary of the Tumara, of the Aldan basin, part of the Lena basin. It has a length of 110 kilometres (68 mi) and a drainage basin area of 3,120 square kilometres (1,200 sq mi).[1]
The Nuora flows across an area of the Kobyaysky District that is wholly mountainous and desolate. Segyan-Kyuyol village, the closest inhabited place, lies to the south of its confluence with the Tumara.[2] The river is a destination for rafting.[3] The name of the river comes from the Yakut language.[4]
