It has a length of {{convert|110|km|mi}} and a drainage basin area of {{convert|3120|km2|mi2}}.<ref name=gvr>{{GVR|250234|Река Нуора}}</ref>
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.<ref name="GЕ">Google Earth</ref> The river is a destination for rafting.<ref name=WR/> The name of the river comes from the Yakut language.<ref>Murzaev EM, ''Turkic place names'' / Baskakov NA . - Moscow: Eastern Literature RAS, 1996 .-- P. 149 .-- 254 p. - 500 copies. - ISBN 5-02-016806-8 .</ref> ==Course== The Nuora is a mountain river that originates south of the Arctic Circle near the Arkachan Plateau, central part of the southern Verkhoyansk Range. In the uppermost stretch of its course the river flows southwards. As it meets the Kelter Range, it bends roughly southeastwards, flowing below the northeastern slopes of the range within a deep valley. Finally the Nuora meets the right bank of the Tumara River, a little upstream from where it cuts southwards across the Kelter Range, {{convert|146|km|mi}} from its mouth in the Aldan.<ref name=ONC>[https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Operational_Navigation_Chart_C-6,_3rd_edition.jpg 1,000,000 scale Operational Navigation Chart; Sheet C-6]</ref>
The Nuora has numerous tributaries that are longer than {{convert|10|km|mi|abbr=on}}. The longest are the {{convert|27|km|mi|abbr=on}} long Kelter, the {{convert|34|km|mi|abbr=on}} long Burgavli and the {{convert|34|km|mi|abbr=on}} long Munilchan from the right and the {{convert|20|km|mi|abbr=on}} long Taal from the left.<ref name=gvr/><ref name=WR>[https://water-rf.ru/%D0%92%D0%BE%D0%B4%D0%BD%D1%8B%D0%B5_%D0%BE%D0%B1%D1%8A%D0%B5%D0%BA%D1%82%D1%8B/1913/%D0%A2%D1%83%D0%BC%D0%B0%D1%80%D0%B0 Tumara - Water of Russia]</ref><ref name="GЕ"/><ref>{{cite web|url=https://maps.vlasenko.net/smtm1000/q-51_52.jpg|title=Q-51_52 Topographic Chart (in Russian)|access-date=17 April 2022}}</ref>
==Fauna== In the same manner as the upper course of the neighboring Tumara, the Nuora has fast-flowing clear waters fed by rain and snow. Taimen, lenok, whitefish, grayling, pike, ide and perch are found in the waters of the river. <ref>[https://www.arsfish.ru/catalog/baza/rybolovnyy-tur-na-reku-tumara/ Рыболовный тур на реку Тумара]</ref> ==See also== *List of rivers of Russia
