Things to remember

  • Firstly you have to be very careful of pickpocketing as the roads are crowded and pickpockets commonly happen in crowded places. Also, keep your kids safe with you and stay attentive as they might get lost in the crowd.
  • Secondly be smart to bargain as much as you can because in the beginning, they charge triple for the product. What you need to do is offer your own reasonable rate and if they don’t agree then walk off; surely they would call you back.
  • Products like watches and goggles are not originally there. They may charge rupees 2000 for a product of rupees 200. So bargain accordingly and start your rate from the lowest price.
  • Before buying any product make sure that everything is fine, like zips, and be careful of tiny holes, cuts in the material, especially clothes. Carry a big bag with you as the carrier bags they provide may tear out.
