Chandni Chowk

A trip to Chandni Chowk is nothing short of an adventure—the market is one of the oldest in Delhi and is a treasure trove of goods ranging from bridal wear to electronics. You’ll have to manoeuvre through narrow alleys—divided into bazaars selling specific goods—so it’s best if you tag along with a local who has a good feel for the place. Bhagirath Palace is the area to head to for electronics, Katra Neel sells the most vibrant fabrics in a wide variety of textures, and Dariba Kalan stocks chests of the most beautiful silver jewellery and semi-precious stones. While you’re there, make a pit-stop at one of the food stalls known for selling the most authentic, rich and delicious street food staples in the city.
