A town in the west of the Chuy valley, on the Bishkek-Osh road.

Bishkek is about an hour away, and some customers compare prices with the capital.
In Kara-Balta people try to book Saturday ahead, on Friday evening, while the barbers still have free time. The agent answers these messages at once and books without leaving them until morning.
