Palika Bazaar was set up in 1979, but since the 1990s it has seen a decline in customers.
Palika Bazaar is estimated to have some 15,000 people within its confines at any given time and attracts many foreign tourists. It is known for its reasonably priced items and is a tourist attraction. It has been listed as a notorious market since 2009 by the USTR for being an underground market with large amounts of counterfeit products including pirated software and media.
