Geography
editNyuya is located around 90 km south-east of the district centre Lensk, on the left bank of the Lena River near its confluence with its tributary the Nyuya.[5]
Economy and infrastructure
editNyuya and the neighbouring village Turukta, 18 km downstream on the Lena, were timber production centres during the Soviet era. The timber company was privatised in 1992, however it later went bankrupt.
The village has a river port. Road access is only reliable in winter, when the frozen river allows a winter road to Lensk.
