Reviews from VirtualTourist Members

various: Carpet

by TomorrowsAngel

India has one of the world’s largest carpet industries, and many examples of her ancient and beautiful craft can be seen in museums throughout the world. Kashmir has a long history of carpet-making, influenced by the Persians. Pure wool and woven and silk carpets are exquisitely made, and you will only pay a fraction of the cost you'd pay at home. Each region will have its own specialty; such as the distinctive, bright coloured Tibetan rugs, available mainly in Darjeeling. Bargain for a price.

various: Fabric

by TomorrowsAngel

India’s silks, cottons, and wools rank amongst the best in the world. Varanasi silk brocades are among the most famous variety; other major centres include Patna, Murshidabad,Surat and Kanchipuram. Rajasthan cotton with its famous tie-dye design is usually brillantly colourful, while Madras cotton is known for its attractive "bleeding" effect after a few washes. Throughout the country may be found the "himroo" cloth, a mixture of silk and cotton, often decorated with patterns. Kashmir sells beautiful woollens particularly shawls. Look around and bargain for a good price.

Anjuna FleaMarket (Goa)

by SirRichard

Anjuna Beach market takes place on wednesdays at Anjuna Beach, every week but only during high season. I went there in august (monsoon) and all I found was 2 or 3 indian girls selling me blankets.This famous market is one of the few remains of the hippy 60s ambiance that made Goa famous in the last century. You can still see here the old hippies that came for some months and established here to live since then. You can really find bargains here, but there's too much "hippy circus" too, as someone told me.

Various Sabzi Markets: Fruits & Veggies

by Canadienne

I love Indian food, much more now than I did on my first trip, but I always find it difficult to get as many fruits and vegetables as I would eat at home. The difficulty with eating salads in restaurants (due to rinsing in tap water) leads me to seek out vegetable markets in most cities. As well as being able to supplement restaurant food, exploring the local markets is always entertaining and enjoyable. Peas are an easy choice – once they're peeled, they're ready to eat. Bananas and oranges are also simply divine. But with some bottled/purified water and a bit of effort, you can enjoy other locally-grown buys as well.

Various Stores & Streetstalls: Books, Books, Books

by Canadienne

VN Road in Mumbai and College Street in Kolkata are stretches of shopping that call out to my heart. If you can’t find appealing reading material here, you probably never will. At the very least, come and browse and it'll give you a sense of how popular reading is with the city residents. My friend Lara picked up the photo-heavy Eyewitness India, as a souvenir of the trip, for $10 Cdn (it runs close to $70 at home). I found a few lesser-known Tagore collections for a steal. Bargain hard, most of the books are second-hand or "pirated" copies.

Various Shops/Stalls: Bargaining in India

by Canadienne

Bargaining can be a difficult interaction for many Westerners, as we rarely get any practice with it at home. Still, the "art of the deal" is expected in Indian markets and the original price that you are quoted is almost never the price you are expected to pay. Try to source out appropriate prices from local people before you start negotiations. Keep a good sense of humour and a respectful tone when dealing with salespeople. Being prepared to walk away if you can't reach an agreement also helps, but remember that no one is getting rich off of you. There are probably eight months of the year, when due to low tourism, the people you meet struggle (even more than usual) to make ends meet. Once you go home, is it really going to matter if you paid a couple dollars more than a local might? We bargained for all of our purchases in markets, clothing stores, souvenir shops, and even the...

Crawford Market: A Shopping "Must See" in Mumbai

by Canadienne

A trip to Mumbai's Crawford Market is definitely a must ~ the building is architecturally interesting, it reportedly sees 2 tonnes of fresh produce pass through each day, and the lanes are packed with interesting colours, sights, sounds and (of course) smells. It is a superb place to pick up supplies (if you are starting out) or souvenirs (if you are wrapping up a trip). I always struggle with what to get my co-workers, but saffron-infused sweets are a perfect reminder of India. You can also find unique Falooda mixes, spices for the cuisine-inclined, and a few colourful photos as well.

STREET TRADERS: MOVEABLE SHOPPING

by BerniShand

Of course this isnt a shop.... its the traders who follow you everywhereIf you want to buy wait until the last moment otherwise you will be swamped, and then bargain, the best prices are to be had while you stand on the steps of your busIf you dont want to buy then keep walking, avoid eye contact, and keep quiet, `I dont want anything, please leave me alone` does not work cheap souveniers, carvings, postcards...... 100-200 rupees seems to be the going rate

Dilli Haat: Bargaining at Dilli Haat

by DirtyRudy

Dilli Haat is a market set up by the local government, and you can find all sorts of great handicrafts there from all over India. There's a small admission to get in, but it's a great place to do the one-stop shopping. They sell a lot of silk & fabrics there. I'm not sure if it's the best place to buy it, but it's definitely *a* place to buy some... or at least shop around. You can spend as much as you like, but by all means, don't forget to haggle!!!

Various: Street foods

by acemj

What I remember best when it comes to buying things, is the food. You have to be a bit careful when buying street food (wouldn't want to get Delhi belly!). Just make sure if you're going to eat something, that it's something you see locals eating too. Use common sense and make sure that the food and the vendor's stall look clean. You'll find all kinds of snacks that are simply delicious.
