Police Bazaar

Shillong, Meghalaya

Shillong's central commercial hub, a lively market area with a mix of shops, street food stalls, and hotels. The city's main shopping and social point.

The best time to visit is from October to May when the weather is pleasant and dry, making it ideal for walking around. The monsoon season, from June to September, sees heavy rainfall which can disrupt plans. December is particularly festive with Christmas decorations, but also brings in large crowds. For a good balance of pleasant weather and moderate crowds, consider visiting between February and April.

2-3 hours

Hampi Bazaar

Hampi, Karnataka

Explore the historic Hampi Bazaar, a kilometer-long street market at the base of the Virupaksha Temple, lined with ancient pavilions and modern shops.

The best time to visit is from October to February when the weather is cool and pleasant, with temperatures ranging from 15°C to 30°C. This period is ideal for exploring the open-air site comfortably. The summer months, from March to June, are extremely hot and best avoided. The monsoon season, from July to September, sees rainfall but also turns the landscape lush green, offering a different experience for those who don't mind the wet weather.

1-2 hours

Kavanad Market

Kollam, Kerala

A lively local market in Kollam, famous for its fresh fish from Ashtamudi Lake and providing an authentic glimpse into everyday coastal life.

The ideal months to visit are from October to March, when the weather in Kollam is pleasant and not too humid. While the market is a daily affair, your comfort level will be higher during these cooler months. Avoid the peak monsoon season from June to August, as heavy rains can make the market area difficult to navigate. The market's activity is not weather-dependent, but your overall experience will be better in the post-monsoon and winter seasons.

1 hour

Ramankulangara Market

Kollam, Kerala

Experience the authentic daily life of Kollam at its main fish market, a lively hub of fresh seafood, early morning auctions, and local commerce.

The best months to visit Kollam are from October to March, when the weather is pleasant and less humid. However, for the market itself, the time of day is more critical than the season. The market is active year-round. To see it at its most dynamic, you must visit in the early morning, ideally before 7 AM, regardless of the month. Activity significantly subsides by late morning.

1 hour

Khan Market

Delhi, Delhi

An upscale, U-shaped market in Delhi known for its independent bookshops, designer boutiques, and popular cafes and restaurants.

The best time to visit Khan Market is from October to March when Delhi's weather is pleasant and cool, ideal for walking around. The market is especially lively in the evenings. Avoid the peak summer months of May and June, as the afternoon heat can be intense. The market takes on a festive look with special decorations during Diwali (October/November) and Christmas, making these good times to experience its celebratory atmosphere.

2-3 hours

Hauz Khas Market

Delhi, Delhi

A trendy urban village in South Delhi with designer boutiques, art galleries, and a vibrant food and nightlife scene next to a medieval fort.

October to March is the best period to visit, offering pleasant weather perfect for walking around and enjoying rooftop seating. Temperatures are comfortable, ranging from 10-25°C. The summer months from April to June are extremely hot and best avoided for daytime visits. The area is most active during weekend evenings throughout the year, but this is also when it's most crowded. For a balance of good weather and fewer people, a weekday in February or March is ideal.

2-3 hours

Lokhandwala Market

Mumbai, Maharashtra

A popular street market in Mumbai's Andheri West, known for trendy fashion, replica goods, accessories, and lively street food stalls.

The best months to visit are from October to February when the weather in Mumbai is pleasant and cool, making it ideal for walking around an open-air market. The summer months from March to May can be very hot and humid. While the monsoon season (June to September) sees fewer crowds, heavy downpours can disrupt your shopping experience. Evenings are the most popular time to visit but also the most crowded.

2-3 hours

Anjuna Flea Market

Goa, Goa

Every Wednesday, this iconic market near Anjuna Beach offers everything from handmade jewelry and clothes to live music and food stalls.

The best time to visit is from November to February. During these months, the weather in Goa is pleasant and cool, making it comfortable to walk around the open-air market. This is also the peak tourist season, so the market is at its most active with the maximum number of stalls and visitors. The market is closed or operates on a very small scale during the monsoon season from June to September.
