The quaint tea stalls, small shops stocking Buddhist artefacts and household bric-a-brac and a line-up of vegetable stalls set up on the sloping lanes of Chowk Bazaar (also called Lower Bazaar) attract many travellers. Favourite picks include carved boxes, masks, hand spun textiles, fur caps, rugs, silverware and brassware. Located on the Hill Cart Road, the bazaar is a local favourite, and is always buzzing with traffic snarls. Explore the inner by-lanes of the market on foot and you will find a miscellany of products, from groceries, accessories, shoes, decorative items and woollens in almost every shop. The market is especially crowded on the weekends.Refrain from posting comments that are obscene, defamatory or inflammatory, and do not indulge in personal attacks, name calling or inciting hatred against any community.
