Poonam is located in Burdi area, -also known as Sitabuldi. A good shop with a huge variety of exquisite collections, Poonam sarees is a shop worth visiting in Nagpur.

What to buy: 1) A sweetmeat shop-Haldirams outlets are scattered all over Nagpur and some of these outlets have restaurants attached serving chaat items as well as regional specialities.
2) Nagput is famous for its loose-jacketed oranges, although all seasonal fruits are available in that particular season.
3) Woollens in winters.
4) Salwar suits in a wide price range starting from say, Rs.250/-.
5) Chaat items like bhelpuri, sev puri, pav bhaji, pani puri etc. , its taste is out of the world in Nagpur I must say!

What to pay: One can end up spending anything between Rs.50 to Rs. 50,000 in Nagpur.

Tourist Traps  

swindling par excellence!

the transport system in this state is pathetic. the tourist is virtually at the mercy of the auto rickshaw drivers or the cycle-rickshaws( an inhuman form of transport of transport not seen much around nowadays!) both the categories overcharge to glory! a distance of mere 4 km would cost u anywhere from 40 to 80 rs! the same trip elsewhere would cost u a meagre rs 20! the govt seems to be least concerned. hardly any public transport. nobody as far as i know rents out bikes which u could drive around like they have in goa.

Unique Suggestions: ur best bet would be to have a friend who could lend u his bike or car for the duration of ur stay.
