Naryn District' (formerly Tian'-Shan' District) is a raion of Naryn Province in central-southern Kyrgyzstan. The capital lies at Naryn.^[2]. Naryn District was established in its borders in 1930. It borders with At-Bashi District to the south, Ak-Talaa District to the west, Kochkor District to the north, Tong District to the north-east, Jeti-Oguz District to the east, and Song Köl to the north-west.
