The main street, Soltobaev, forms part of the main Osh-Batken highway and is consequently very dusty and busy, but nonetheless attractively lined by willow, poplar and plane trees.
Nookat came to signify the repression during the Bakiyev regime as villagers were imprisoned, tortured and sentenced to lengthy prison terms following civil unrest in the fall of 2008. Following the revolt in April 2010, the villagers, of the Uzbek minority, were released.
