Its capital is [Naryn](/source/Naryn). Its total area is {{cvt|44160|km2}}.{{cite Kyrgyzstan census 2009|Naryn|12, 15, 39, 145}} The resident population of the region was 292,140 as of January 2021.{{cite Kyrgyzstan population 2021}} The main highway runs from the Chinese border at [Torugart Pass](/source/Torugart_Pass) north to [Balykchy](/source/Balykchy) on [Lake Issyk-Kul](/source/Issyk-Kul).
