Kumtepa Bazaar (Margilan)
One of the Fergana Valley's oldest and busiest bazaars, open only on Thursdays and Sundays, famous for ikat fabrics.
Kumtepa is about 5 km from Margilan and is described as one of the oldest, most significant and busiest markets in the Fergana Valley. It operates only on Thursdays and Sundays. Stalls sell ikat fabrics such as adras and atlas, fresh produce, spices, bread and local dishes like samsa and plov.
Tips: The market is large, and a local guide helps. A taxi from Margilan or Fergana costs a couple of dollars each way. Hours are not given in our source, so go in the morning. The photo is illustrative: it shows vegetable sellers at a market in Margilan, not Kumtepa. Coordinates are approximate.
