Located on a narrow road adjoining the Ridge, the bazaar is popular for wooden decorative items and souvenirs. Most of the articles for sale are made by a community of Sikh carpenters who migrated to Shimla over a century ago. The market is famous for the wooden walking sticks on offer.
Built by the British, the Mall is always buzzing with activity in the numerous shops, cafes, theaters and restaurants. Go to the Government run Himachal Emporium where you can pick up local handicrafts at pocket-friendly prices.
Walk through its narrow chaotic streets lined with old buildings. The bazaar is located on several streets leading into one another. You can find almost everything here – from souvenirs to vegetables and fruits. You can also see some quaint old bookshops selling new as well as old books.
