Lakkar Bazaar

Shimla, Himachal Pradesh, India
Lakkar Bazaar, whose name literally means 'Wood Market' (Lakkar is Hindi for wood), is a historical shopping street situated near The Ridge and is a key commercial artery of Shimla. It is primarily famous for its exquisite array of wooden articles. The market was originally established by a communi ty of Sikh carpenters from Hoshiarpur, who settled in the area and began crafting items from the abundant local woods like Deodar and Walnut. Today, shoppers can find everything from intricately carved wooden walking sticks (a local specialty) and toys to small furniture pieces, utensils, and souvenirs. Beyond wood, the bazaar also hosts shops selling warm Kullu shawls, handmade woolens, traditional handicrafts, and artificial jewelry. The bazaar acts as the starting point for the trek up to Jakhoo Hill and is also home to the city's skating rink. It is a bustling, colorful, pedestrian-only area that provides a vibrant contrast to the more colonial feel of Mall Road.

Tourism Tips

@@Health & Safety: The bazaar is uphill. Wear comfortable walking shoes. Be aware of pickpockets in the crowds. @@Packing: Carry cash, as many smaller vendors do not accept digital payments. Carry a reusable bag for shopping. @@Bargaining: Gentle bargaining is expected, especially when buying multiple items. Start low, but be respectful of the artisan's work. @@Local Delicacies: Do not miss trying the local street food, but choose vendors that appear hygienic. Parking: Parking is generally not available near the immediate bazaar area due to it being pedestrian-only. Use designated parking near the Lift or Bus Stand.
