When we went to Little India by taxi (quite cheap 5RM from KLCC) but in the end it was quite pointless.
We had just been to China Town shopping in the market and grabbed a few bargains. We decided to move onto the market in Little India to find some different items to buy as pressies. The items for sale were no different and the range didn't compare to China Town.
The thing I did like was beside the market was a mosque where prayers were put out on loud speakers which gave the place quite a surreal feel to it, especially for a westerner.

Amazing shopping area! Beautiful scarves, Pashima's, and textiles. Great prices. Muslim area so MAKE SURE you dress modestly, nothing "bad" will happen to you if you don't, but you will feel more comfortable in Long sleeves and long pants. If you are in a tank top, people just stare at you longer (they are already stareing at you hair being uncovered- so why fuel the fire.....) I saw some western women buying scarves and wrapping thier bare shoulders. It just makes for a smoother day.

Address: Masjd India (Mosque)
Little India. The atmosphere is great and the people are very friendly for city Malaysian standards. Barginning is a must, no matter the number of stairs you climbed to get to the shop.
Besides the mosque and great sari shops there are many sidewalk shops, selling everything from Bollywood videos to hair loss remedies.
