The Tyry has its sources in the southern slopes of the Suntar-Khayata Range. In the upper section of its course the river flows through a narrow valley across mountainous terrain, heading roughly southwestwards and cutting across the Skalisty Range and the Sette Daban, where its valley widens and the river divides into branches. The river turns then to the WNW and cuts across the northern section of the Ulakhan-Bom. After the Tyry exits the mountain area it enters a wide floodplain, dividing into many channels and making a wide bend to the southwest. Finally if meets the right bank of the Aldan River, upstream from the mouth of the Eastern Khandyga, from the confluence of the Aldan with the Lena River.Tributaries
