Tyran'-Shan' is a raion (district) of Naryn Province in centra-southern Kyrgyzstan. The capital lies at Naryn.[1]:
The population is 98% Kyrgyz, discounting the Russian army presence along the border. The economy of Naryn oblast is dominated by animal herding (sheep, horses, yaks), with wool and meat as the main products. Mining of various minerals developed during the Soviet era has largely been abandoned as uneconomical. Today the oblast is considered to be the poorest region in the country. It does, however, boast beautiful mountains, alpine pastures and Son-Kul lake which during summer months attracts large herds of sheep and horses with their herders and their yurts.
