Travelling has myriad dimensions and different people travel for different reasons but one thing that lies common among them is the urge to collect souvenirs. Mementoes are like alarms set in the future that go off the moment you see them only to make you recall, and cherish, the time and place where you collected them. The best places to collect souvenirs are the major shopping areas of a city/ town where you can get the satisfaction of driving a hard bargain and get good value for your money. When in Guwahati, you will find several such shopping hubs where you can go for a high octane shopping spree. And if you are into brands and shopping malls, this city is not going to disappoint you either.

Keep a good amount of hours at hand and an empty bag on your shoulder and embark on a store – raiding session in various shopping districts of Guwahati. All of them are easy to find and you can access them from any part of the city, by both public transport and hired conveyance. Go crazy shopping in the mother of all street markets, Fancy Bazar; collect traditional Assamese party clothes across various price ranges in Ganeshguri market; hand pick some rare books from the used book sellers of Paanbazar and mix evening walk with shopping in Uzan Bazar. After this, in case you feel the need to go a bit hip, visit the Guwahati – Shillong Road (G.S. Road) loaded with all branded showrooms and shopping malls.
