Duration: 45 minutes

Stop At: Chandni Chowk, New Delhi 110006 India

This market exemplifies the quintessential feeling of Old Delhi — noisy, busy, and overflowing with goods.

North Indian snacks are plentiful. (Some wholesale sub-markets closed on Sundays)

Duration: 1 hour

Stop At: Khan Market, 61A, Rabindra Nagar, New Delhi 110003 India

Duration: 45 minutes

Stop At: Sarojini Nagar Market, Sarojini Nagar, New Delhi 110023 India

Among the more crowded markets, especially on weekends, this market is known for shops selling clothes, ranging from cheap t-shirts to brand stores. The most popular stores are those that sell stylish factory rejects with minor-defects at bargain prices. Bargaining is the norm here. (Closed on Mondays)

Duration: 45 minutes

Stop At: Hauz Khas Village, Hauz Khas Village, New Delhi, National Capital Territory of Delhi

A chic market located in what used to be a village, it is dotted with contemporary restaurants, designer art stores, and clothing outlets. Various restaurants and bars play host to musical performances, with the Hauz Khas Tomb, the lake, and the deer park located nearby.

Duration: 45 minutes

Stop At: Paharganj, New Delhi India

This congested hub of tourist activity is due to a multitude of budget-accommodating options and eateries. Shops selling clothing, shoes, jewelry, books, music, handicrafts, and trinkets are abundant. You can often get Indian dress stitched and tailored all in one day. (Some shops closed on Sundays)

Duration: 45 minutes

Duration: 1 hour

Stop At: Janpath Market, Janpath Rd Connaught Place, New Delhi 110001 India

Here you get to do the best of street shopping. You will mostly find small kiosks selling all kinds of cotton clothes and curios. The clothes are generally export-surplus garments and are sold dirt-cheap. There's lots of silver and artificial jewellery studded with semi-precious stones available here. Refugees who came after the Partition and Tibetans who came when China invaded Tibet settled here as traders. Shopping here requires a couple of skills. One, you must have the ability to distinguish the fake from the genuine. Two, you must know and practice the art of bargaining patiently.


Duration: 30 minutes

Stop At: Connaught Place, New Delhi India

When it came into being, the sprawling circular market was the largest of its kind in India. The British believed that the horseshoe-shaped market would prove lucky for the shoppers and the shopkeepers both. This market has two circles. The Inner Circle consists of Blocks A to F. The important shops and showrooms here include Adidas Originals, Allen Solly, Bentley, Bon Ton, Cantabil, Gas, Johnson Watch Company, Kalpana, Lee, Louis Philippe, Neelkanth Jewellers, Nike, Orra, Park Avenue, Pepe, Proline and Fila, Roopchand Jewellers, Snowhite Square, Wills Lifestyle. Mohanlal Sons promises to give you ready or tailored attires to suit every occasion. Known for its quality and good service, you will find here a wide range of shirts, trousers, jackets, suits, kurtas and sherwanis. The Outer Circle consists of Blocks G to P. Showrooms like Digjam, Lacoste, Omega, Rado, RL Exports and TAG Heuer lie in this circle.


Duration: 30 minutes

Stop At: Lajpat Nagar Central Market, New Delhi 110024 India

Lajpat Nagar is a popular shopping area where you can get whatever you desire - accessories, clothes, footwear, bags, etc. The garments
at Hakoba range from saris and salwar kameezes for women to kurtas and kurtis for both men and women. The Lucknowi embroidery, which is mostly done in white-coloured threads, is breathtaking and of very high quality. Karan & Nasir have been revolutionizing the way men dress. RCKC has carved a niche for itself in the international market with labels like Anamika and RISA by Abhijeet Khanna.

A brainchild of Saurabh Mehta, Samaira boasts a wide variety of designs that define femininity with simple styles. Apart from fashion stores, there are furnishing stores and decor houses to beautify your homes. There are huge glittering showrooms as well as roadside stalls. The mehndiwallahs (appliers of henna) are very famous. Bargaining is a must if you wish to get the best of this market. It remains closed on Mondays.



Duration: 1 hour

Stop At: Walk Over Bridge Majnu Ka Tilla, HO NO 91, New Aruna Colony, Majnu-ka-tilla, Timarpur, Delhi, 110054, India

Often called the Little Tibet in Delhi, this colony was originally set up to house a few Tibetan refugees. Decades later, not only has the little colony market grown in size but its name and fame have also spread far and wide. It is popularly known as the Monastery Market.

A nondescript gate under the arch of the ISBT Shahdara Link Flyover on the Ring Road leads one to a suprisingly large market, chock-a-block with stalls selling statues, incense, shawls, paintings and Tibetan artefacts, including jewellery and semi-precious stones. Shops selling clothes and accessories are a huge hit among the young crowd of Delhi. Also popular are the shops selling footwear and other leather products. Most products are stylish and good value-for-money.

This is also a good place to sample some original Tibetan home food. Restaurants like Zomsa and Shakura serve Tibetan delicacies including thukpa. Momos and mouth-watering chow mein are also available in this market.
This market is closed on Mondays.

Experiencing Chandni Chowk markets. I contacted our guide well before the tour, stating that we did not want to be taken to organised shops, where tourists are taken advantage of for the benefit of shop and guide. I also expressed that we wanted to see a lot of the markets. We went to two shops at the markets, both of which were in the above mentioned category. We stayed very little time at the markets, which was unfortunate, and I should have said that we wanted to stay. He wanted to take us to lunch, but as we had limited time, we were happy to go without, which he was not too happy about. The clothing and fabric shop that we were taken to, instead of the one that we had requested, was a total rip off. My friend’s card was charged, then they tried to charge again, resulting in the bank blocking her card. We looked around the Kahn markets, and they were pleasant. The guide was impatient, except in the shops where he had an interest. We were also informed that we had to pay extra for our Tuk Tuk ride through Chandni Chowk market, and that was not mentioned prior to booking, or even before getting into the Tuk Tuk. Our driver for the day was just lovely. He was very polite and provided us with water. Overall not great, but my fault for not speaking up.

The wholesale spice market was truly amazing to see end navigating the narrow lanes in old Delhi, looking at the houses, the micro businesses and learning about the history was a highlight of my tour. I had a fantastic guide who was happy to answer all my questions about India and how the system works. I usually love exploring on my own, but visiting a new country, it makes so much sense to have the company of a local at least to begin with, and and I can highly recommend organising a tour.

Raj’s tour is an incredible adventure where you’ll encounter an extraordinary array of people, shops, and flavors. With an incredible sense of humor and sharp wit, Raj shares his in-depth knowledge of his beguiling and magical city. And, of course, the shopping is great too.
