Management of Saturday Haat Bazar

The Saturday Market in Namche Bazaar is a vital trading hub where local Sherpa traders, Tibetan merchants, and businesses from the lower valleys come together to sell goods, ranging from fresh produce and household items to trekking gear and handicrafts. This historic market has been a key part of Namche’s economy and culture for generations.

The Namche Youth Group plays an active role in managing and organizing the market to ensure smooth operations. This includes:

• Designating and maintaining market spaces for vendors.
• Ensuring cleanliness and proper waste disposal to keep Namche environmentally friendly.
• Regulating fair trade practices to prevent overpricing and maintain ethical business conduct.
• Providing security and crowd management, especially during peak tourist seasons.

The market not only supports local businesses but also fosters community interaction and cultural exchange between locals and trekkers. Through active involvement, the youth group ensures that this traditional marketplace continues to thrive while adapting to modern needs
