If you're lucky enough to be in Karakol on Saturday evening, get up before dawn the next day. Every Sunday there's a gigantic livestock market, one of the biggest in the country along with Öuzgen. Cows, sheep and, of course, horses are bought and sold by the herd between 2 and 6 am. The following five hours are reserved for individuals who come to buy a few head for a wedding or a birthday. In both cases, you'll find an atmosphere like no other, and a hustle and bustle worthy of the Palais Brongniart!

Très intéressant
Ce marché aux bestiaux était très intéressant à voir. Nous nous y sommes rendus vers 10h30, il n'y avait plus trop de monde mais les animaux étaient toujours présents, dans les camions, à l'arrière des voitures etc. Il y avait également un maréchal-ferrant qui ferrait les chevaux en direct. Il y a très peu de touristes,nous nous sommes fondu dans la masse.

Great market for animals with beautiful views of the mountains. Go for 6-7 h by taxi (70 soms) and drink a good kefir in one of the small decile boulders on the periphery. It is difficult to find a way between sheep, cows and great horses. Make sure you have thick soles of footwear that you don't particularly care about!
