Pasar Nayak - Market, Papua, Indonesia

4.0 (10 reviews) Spent Ranking #3 in Wamena Flea & Street Markets

Fresh ripped oranges and big fat shrimps give me mouthgasm.

The fresh ripped oranges and the big fat shrimps were my favorite. My dad was posted for his job in Wamena for 2 years, so I came to visit him during school breaks and we always came to Pasar Nayak to bought fresh vegetables, fruits, and shrimps. I love the oranges and the shrimps. I could sit around watching tv while eating oranges all day long. I ate shrimps for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Don't hesitate to bargain, but some of the sellers refuse to lower the price, they sometimes rudely turn their face away :) Watch your valuables like camera, wallet, jewelry; there were a few naughty young pickpockets in the market.

    One of Indonesia's most interesting markets
    I visited Pasar Nayak Market in Wamena as part of a day trip organised by Dr Weiglein Expeditions, while I was staying at the gorgeous Baliem Valley Resort. I’m fortunate as I've had an opportunity to visit markets across Indonesia, but Pasar Nayak is by far the most interesting as there are many strange and unusual fruits and vegetables on display, and I often had to rely on my guide to help me make sense of the strange produce I encountered. The market is also worth visiting as you’ll see many people in Dani tribal dress, and it’s fascinating to see the modern world (motorcycles, mobile phones and so on) existing alongside ancient traditions. While staying at the Baliem Valley Resort, we looked forward to breakfast each morning as it always included fresh and delicious fruit – and if you visit Pasar Nayak Market, you’ll see exactly where these sumptuous treats come from.

    Good for fruit and unusual gifts
    If you are looking for unusual gifts this is the place to go. Cassowary bone items, bird of paradise hats, etc. Just be careful, as customs may seize the things you buy if they are animal related. Things are very inexpensive. The oranges are delicious and very cheap.
