Geography
The Kular Range extends in an arch north of Batagay-Alyta to the NE for about 380 kilometres (240 mi), west and NW of the Bytantay River and west of the Yana, after it joins that great river. In the northeast rise the Kyundyulyun mountains, a prolongation beyond the Yana River and to the southeast the Yana Plateau. The highest point of the Kular Range is an unnamed 1,289 metres (4,229 ft) high summit.[1]
