Beschreibung
Experience Old Delhi’s legendary markets through the eyes of a local woman. From fragrant spices to bridal and heritage jewels, this walk unveils the city’s vibrant soul, guided by stories, scents.
Step into the heart of Old Delhi with a passionate local woman guide, who takes you through a colorful maze of markets that have traded in beauty, flavor, and tradition for centuries.
Your journey begins at Khari Baoli, Asia’s largest spice market — a sensory explosion of cardamom, turmeric, cinnamon, and dried rose petals. Watch traders scoop fragrant blends into burlap sacks and learn how spices have shaped India’s cuisine, culture, and trade routes.
From there, weave your way to Kinari Bazaar, a wonderland of bridal trimmings, zari borders, and sequined fabrics. Here, the air glitters with gold and silver lace, while women vendors expertly guide brides-to-be through yards of embellishments destined for wedding outfits and festive attire.
Next, stroll down the historic Dariba Kalan, Old Delhi’s famous silver market, where gleaming jewelry shops line the narrow lane. Discover the traditional craftsmanship behind anklets, earrings, and vintage Mughal-style designs that have adorned Delhi’s women for generations.
No visit to Old Delhi is complete without a taste of its flavors — so pause at Paranthe Wali Gali, a legendary lane known for stuffed parathas cooked in ghee and served with tangy chutneys. Enjoy these delights with a steaming cup of masala chai as your guide shares stories of the city’s women entrepreneurs and everyday life behind the bazaars.
As the walk winds through Chandni Chowk’s timeless alleys, you’ll see Old Delhi not just as a marketplace — but as a living, breathing celebration of community, craftsmanship, and womanhood.
