Classical tours to India
Tour packages to classical India can be made to feel like their name by getting a taste of the local culture and traditions. A good way to do so is by shopping for traditional things like handicrafts, clothing items, food, jewellery, accessories and other things. Delhi, the national capital, is a good place to look for such souvenirs, many of which are handmade. A number of small and large markets are located around the city, where tourists can come to take samples of the local culture back home.
Dilli Haat
Dilli Haat, in INA Colony, has 62 stalls, arranged according to the region and things they sell. The things sold here include handicrafts, rugs, carpets, antiques, silk clothes, leather accessories, linen, fabrics, furniture, stone/woodcarvings and precious stones. Apart from shopping, visitors can also enjoy performances like music, dances and puppet shows to learn more about India. Another bonus of coming to this place is that the stalls in the food court serve dishes of cuisines from around the country. Many food festivals are regularly organised here by the government to further allow tourists to sample the rich food of the country. It is open between 10 am and 10 pm every day and can be accessed by Delhi Metro.
Tibetan Market and Janpath
Janpath is a street arising out of Connaught Place, in the heart of the city. It is a hub for people looking for clothes and fabrics at cheap rates. All kinds of handicrafts, paintings, shoes, brass items, leather products, artificial jewellery and semi-precious stones are sold here. One of the most significant items sold here is the fine Pashmina rug from Jammu and Kashmir. Other objects available here are kundan jewellery sets, vermilion and hallmarked gold/diamond items. The Tibetan market here sells arts and crafts from the plateau along with beads, musical instruments and wall hangings. Vendors along this 1.5 km long road sell necklaces, horns, drums, trinkets and postcards, which make this market quite sought-after by tourists. Visitors coming here as part of their India travel packages or otherwise can reach here via Delhi Metro.
