Janpath Market – Delhi's Favourite Budget Shopping Street

Janpath Market – Delhi's Favourite Budget Shopping Street

Janpath Market stretches along Janpath Road and is divided into two main sections — the Tibetan Market and the open street bazaar. The Tibetan Market is particularly popular for handmade jewellery, thangka paintings, prayer flags, and traditional Tibetan artefacts.

The street bazaar section is a treasure trove of Indian handicrafts — block-printed fabrics, embroidered bags, silver jewellery, leather goods, and much more. The key to shopping here is to bargain confidently; prices are often quoted two to three times higher than the fair value.
