Itinerary
You will be picked up from fixed point / hotel leave for sightseeing. 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.
This is the main shopping street of Shimla. 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.
Located just below the Ridge is the Lower Bazaar. 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.
End your tour with a visit to the Tibetan Market. This makeshift market is on Shimla’s slopes and is the perfect destination for those who love a good bargain. The Tibetans here sell woollen clothes, rugs, carpets, shoes and jewellery items. Once your tour will be finished you will be driven back to fixed point / your hotel.

About Shimla
Shimla, capital of Himachal Pradesh, is a hill station in the Himalayan foothills, built along a ridge by the British as their summer capital.
Shimla stretches along a ridge at about 2,200 metres in the foothills of the Himalaya and from 1864 served as the summer capital of British India. Colonial buildings in stone and timber still line its slopes: Christ Church, a pale yellow neo-Gothic church overlooking the open space of the Ridge, the Gaiety Theatre, and the Viceregal Lodge, a grey stone mansion in Elizabethan style that is now an institute for advanced study.
