The '''Narym River''' is a river in the Eastern [[Kazakhstan]], a tributary of the [[Irtysh]] River, originating at the junction of the ridges Narym and Sarymsakty of wetland formed by the mountain runoff streams. With its low headwaters and smooth clay-sandy bed, the width of the river valley at places extends to more than {{convert|20|km|mi}}; in some places it narrows to {{convert|25|to|250|m|ft}}. The width of the river is {{convert|15|to|25|m|ft}}, and the depth varies from {{convert|0.5|to|2.5|m|ft}}.

Before 1960, Narym flowed directly into the Irtysh River, and at the mouth of the river was a village, Ust-Narym. Since 1960, with the construction of [[Bukhtarma reservoir]] that flooded surrounding settlements, the Narym empties into the Buhtarma Reservoir, and at the mouth of the river lies the village [[Ulken Narym auyly]]. Along the river are the towns [[Juldyz]], [[Novoberezovka]], and [[Maymyr]].

According to the Chinese annals, the basin of the Narym river was a home of an eastern Hun tribe Ala-at, Tr. for "skewbald horse", called in the Chinese annals "He-la" and "Boma" ("skewbald horse"); from the [[Alat (tribe)|Alat]] tribe originated one of the Eastern Hun Shanuys called Helog Tou, i.e. Alat Tou, most likely named after his maternal tribe. Modern descendents of the ancient Alats are Alats in the Altai, and [[Khalaj people|Khalach]]es and [[Khalaj people|Khalajes]] in the northern India and eastern section of the Iranian plateau. Under Arabicized name Khalajes, Alats are known to constitute one of the major tribes of the 5th- to 6th-century CE [[Hephthalites]].<ref>Kurbanov A.D., "''Hephthalites: (essays on history)''", St. Petersburg, European House, 2006, ISBN 5-8015-0203-3; PhD thesis [http://www.diss.fu-berlin.de/diss/receive/FUDISS_thesis_000000016150]</ref>
