Run by the Himachal Pradesh Government, the Himachal Emporium at the Mall Road is one of the best and most reasonable spots in Shimla to buy locally made handicrafts, pottery items, woollen wear, jewellery items, Kinnauri shawls and beautiful souvenirs.

Possibly the best place to bargain, the Tibetan Market is an amazing shopping stopover from where you can buy a range of woollen items like jackets, sweaters, scarves, mufflers and leather boots. Apart from apparels, tourists can also shop for antique and Feng Shui items, silver jewellery and Tibetan carpets.

This market lies below the mall road and is comparatively much cheaper. One can find a lot of silversmith shops from where exquisite silver jewellery items can be purchased. The numerous lanes of the bazaar are lined with shops selling handicrafts, wooden items, colourful earthen pots, shawls and other woollen wear. The market is also known for rare medicinal herbs that can be bought from here.

As the name suggests, this market is known for its wood-carving products. The shops of Lakkar Bazaar house an incredible collection of locally carved wooden artefacts ranging from decorative souvenirs, wooden toys, flower vases and candle stands to kitchen pots, key chains and spoons. The market is also noted for good quality dry fruits and fresh fruits like cherry, plum and peach.

The bustling Mall Road is lined with handicraft shops, branded stores and small shops selling a wide range of items. From shawls and woollen items to trendy jewellery and toys for kids,it has something for everyone and is truly a paradise for shopping lovers.
