Spring (April to June) is widely regarded as the best time to visit Altyn Asyr Bazaar, also known as Tolkuchka Bazaar, in Ashgabat, Turkmenistan. During these months, the weather is comfortably warm with average daytime temperatures ranging between 20°C to 30°C (68°F to 86°F). The mild climate is perfect for exploring the vast bazaar without the extreme heat that characterizes the Turkmen summer. Moreover, spring brings a vibrant atmosphere to the bazaar with a wide array of seasonal products, from fresh local produce to colorful textiles, making the experience not only comfortable but also visually appealing.
Fall (September to November) presents another great window for visiting Altyn Asyr Bazaar. During this period, the scorching summer heat subsides, giving way to cooler, yet still pleasant temperatures. Visitors will find this time ideal for unhurriedly strolling through the crowded lanes, bargaining for handicrafts, carpets, and jewelry. Since fall is off-peak tourist season, you may also benefit from less crowded conditions which allows for a more relaxed shopping experience, and the chance to engage more deeply with local vendors about their crafts and traditions.
