Character on the market
Chapatis lie together next to bracelets and carpets. Fruit and vegetables go well with scarves and shoes. The constant rhythmic hum of merchants who praise their merchandise is occasionally drowned out by an indignantly honking scooter. At the Chandni Chowk in Delhi you will see India at its best. If you visit the bazaar, you will not only bring bags full of stuff, but also come home with a colourful story.
Indian character comes to the top at the Chor Bazaar in Mumbai. A paradise for collectors looking for antiques, vintage and curiosities. A perfect training ground for anyone who wants to boost their negotiating skills from base to advanced level. Among the dried apricots, walnuts and embroidered carpets on the Tibetan market in Leh you will discover another side of India. Art and handicrafts with a Tibetan origin lie here under a colorful roof of prayer flags.
On the other side of the country, the hippie market in Goa is also a colour explosion. Since the first hippies settled on the beach in the 1960s, the markets with bamboo instruments, scarves, tarot cards and tattoo ists have become indispensable. Meanwhile, a colourful row of stalls swings into the hills every Saturday during the Ingo's Saturday Night Market. Flanked by an equally colourful procession of locals, travellers and leftover hippies.
