Five pop-up markets to visit in the Valley

From selling organic vegetables and food to locally made handicrafts, the Valley’s pop-up market culture is here to stay.

Almost every major neighbourhood in the Valley has its own pop-up farmer’s market. That’s how popular the concept has become in the last few years. All these markets serve as a platform to connect buyers directly with producers. While the concept might be recent to Kathmandu’s urban corners, it has always existed in our rural communities in the form of a ‘haat bazaar’, where farmers and small business owners come to a predesignated space on a predesignated day/s to sell their products.
