Janpath Market
The basics
Janpath Market is a great place to pick up souvenirs such as scarves, traditional Indian clothes, and jewelry along with Tibetan and Kashmiri décor and fashion items. Janpath is a frequent stop on shopping and market tours, and going with a guide can be helpful if you want help bargaining or want to learn about local handicrafts. Many tours to Connaught Place also stop here for a bit of shopping.
Things to know before you go
*Janpath is a must-visit for souvenir shoppers. *Much of the market is outside, so wear comfortable shoes and sun protection. *Remember to bargain; it’s expected, and vendors will usually start with higher prices with the expectation that you’ll haggle a bit.
How to get there
Janpath Market is located along Janpath Road, which runs south from Connaught Place in the heart of New Delhi. It’s easy to get to on foot if you’re staying in Connaught Place. The nearest metro stations are Janpath (on the violet line) and Rajiv Chowk (on the blue and yellow lines).

When to get there
Most of Janpath’s stores and stalls are open Monday through Saturday from morning until after dinnertime, and closed on Sundays. Evenings tend to be busier with locals, and you’ll get the best prices (and avoid big crowds) by coming in the morning; being the first customer of the day is considered auspicious, so you might get a discount just by showing up early.
