This is one of the biggest bazaar ins bishkek city of Kyrgyzstan. Everything that you can think of is sold here. It is somewhat a wholesale type market thus the prices here are less and can be bargained. Moreover this is a very big place and usually very busy and filled to the top with crowd. Few highlights for specifically indian students living here in bishkek ks that everything that is not found in the city is available here at reasonable prices.

Clothes and spices are a few things that are available here at good prices and spices are very hard to get here in bishkek. So it is recommended for anyone looking for indian spices.

The quality of clothes is so-so but in context to the price it's a good deal. Primarily for girls and women it's the best go-to place for new dresses and seasonal wear.

Only one drawback of this place is that it's overcrowded at times and that can cause a few hazards for foreign citizens at times. And some vendors may even try to charge extra from you so be careful when you are here. Otherwise it's the best market for all your needs...

Several marshrutka (white small busses ) drive the road from the city to there, it’s written on the board ош базар, or you can ask anyone on the road to tell you which one to take. Do not take too much money with you and keep your phone with you all the time. Keep some money easily accessible to pay for what you need to buy but the rest not easy accessed. Pay attention to your stuff and check them all the time, try not to carry so much things. Negotiate the prices and it’s better to take local person with you they get much better prices. It’s not organized by the type so you need to walk to find what you want and better to keep photos on your phone to ask people where can you find it. Google translate is very big help in these situations so don’t leave the house without downloading it( it works offline). On the way back try to call taxi instead of taking one that’s there because they’re expensive. Be confident and enjoy...
