The Nuora flows across an area of the Kobyaysky District that is wholly mountainous and desolate.

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,  from its mouth in the Aldan. The Nuora has numerous tributaries that are longer than . The longest are the  long Kelter, the  long Burgavli and the  long Munilchan from the right and the  long Taal from the left. 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. See also
