The Nelgesin Range rises in the area of the Yana-Oymyakon Highlands, part of the Chersky Mountains, to the west of the Adycha and north of the Derbeke. It stretches in a roughly southwest–northeast direction for about 140 kilometers (87 mi), with the Adycha at its northern end. The highest peak is a 1,926 metres (6,319 ft) high unnamed summit.
The smaller Tirekhtyakh Range, another subrange of the Chersky Mountains, rises to the north, stretching parallel to the general direction of the Nelgesin Range.
