Farmers and business dealers from across the country come to Thimphu to sell their organic agricultural produce and goods in the weekend market located next to the Changlimithang Stadium. The market has been reconstructed and now it seems like a shopping precinct.
A weekend market is a place where people from all walks of life, congregate to buy the entire week’s rations along with organic vegetables and edibles. The foreigners visiting the weekend market are more interested in buying small traditional Bhutanese souvenirs with choices ranging from decoration pieces like carved wooden masks, wooden bowls, and hand-loomed fabrics to jewelry that are beautiful and antique.
