Look for the large market area filled with vendors selling local produce, textiles, and crafts.
Public Transport (Mashrutka)
From the Osh City Center, find a mashrutka (minibus) heading towards the Jayma Bazaar. The mashrutka stop is usually near the main square. Board any mashrutka that has signs indicating it goes to 'Jayma Bazaar' or 'Bazar'. The ride will take approximately 10-15 minutes. Get off once you see the market area, which is easily recognizable by the bustling activity and large crowds. Follow the signs leading to the bazaar entrance.
Taxi
For a quicker option, you can hire a local taxi. Simply ask your hotel or any local to help you call a taxi. Tell the driver 'Jayma Bazaar' or show them the address: 'GQRW+57H, Kyrgyzstan, Osh'. The taxi ride should take around 5-10 minutes depending on traffic. Make sure to confirm the fare before getting in or negotiate a price if necessary.
