Gandhi Bazaar

Hassan, Karnataka

A traditional market street in Basavanagudi, Bengaluru, known for fresh flowers, produce, and religious items, offering an authentic local shopping experience.

The market is open year-round, but the best time for a pleasant walk-through is from October to February when the weather is cool and dry. For a truly unique experience, visit during major South Indian festivals like Ugadi (March/April), Varamahalakshmi (August), or Diwali (October/November). During these times, the market is exceptionally decorated and sells special festive goods, though it is also at its most crowded.

1-2 hours

Centrepoint Shopping Mall

Thrissur, Kerala

A popular multi-level shopping destination in the heart of Thrissur, offering a mix of retail stores, a food court, and a supermarket.

While the mall is an all-season, air-conditioned destination, the best time to visit Thrissur is from September to March. During these months, the weather is pleasant with lower humidity, making city exploration more comfortable. Visiting the mall during festive seasons like Onam (August/September) or Christmas (December) is special due to decorations and promotional sales, but expect larger crowds. For a quieter experience, the monsoon season (June-August) is also a good time to visit the mall itself.

1-2 hours

Selex Mall

Thrissur, Kerala

A popular multi-level shopping and entertainment destination in Thrissur, featuring retail stores, a supermarket, a food court, and an INOX multiplex cinema.

The mall is a year-round destination. To avoid crowds, the best time to visit is on weekdays between 11 AM and 4 PM. Weekends, particularly evenings after 5 PM, and public holidays are the busiest. The summer months from March to May are an ideal time to visit to escape the city's heat. The festive season, from October to January, sees increased footfall and special decorations, offering a more vibrant atmosphere.

2-3 hours

Koonamparayil Supermarket

Idukki, Kerala

A large, modern supermarket in Kattappana, Idukki, ideal for buying local spices, groceries, snacks, and travel essentials in one convenient location.

The supermarket is an all-season destination. However, the best time to visit the Idukki region is from September to March, when the weather is cool and pleasant. The store is accessible year-round, including during the monsoon (June to August), providing a convenient indoor activity on a rainy day. It's best to visit the store on weekdays to avoid the heavy weekend crowds.

30 minutes

Lulu Mall

Kochi, Kerala

One of India's largest malls, offering a vast range of shopping, dining, and entertainment options including a hypermarket, cinema, and kids' play area.

As an indoor, air-conditioned facility, Lulu Mall can be visited comfortably year-round. However, the best time to visit Kochi for overall travel is from October to March, when the weather is pleasant and less humid. The mall becomes particularly lively during festive seasons like Onam (August/September), Christmas (December), and Eid, with special decorations and events. To avoid the heat of summer (April-May) or the heavy rains of the monsoon (June-September), the mall serves as an excellent all-weather destination.

Half day (3-4 hours)

Princess Street

Kochi, Kerala

A charming street in Fort Kochi with colonial-era architecture, unique boutiques, art galleries, and cozy cafes. Perfect for a leisurely walk and shopping.

The best time to visit is from October to March. During these months, the weather in Kochi is pleasant with lower humidity and comfortable temperatures, making it ideal for walking around. This period also coincides with the peak tourist season and events like the Kochi-Muziris Biennale (held biennially). The monsoon season, from June to September, can be interesting with lush greenery, but heavy rains might disrupt plans. Summer (April-May) is typically hot and humid.

1-2 hours

Parakkattu SuperMarket

Idukki, Kerala

A modern supermarket in Idukki offering a wide range of groceries, authentic local spices, tea, coffee, and daily essentials for travelers and locals.

While the supermarket can be visited year-round, the best time to visit Idukki is from September to March when the weather is cool and pleasant for travel. A visit to the store is practical at any time of day. It can be a good activity during hot afternoons or if you encounter rain during the monsoon season (June to September), as it provides an indoor, air-conditioned environment. Visiting during local festival seasons like Onam may offer a chance to see special seasonal products.

30 minutes

Mall of Joy

Kollam, Kerala

A major retail center in Kollam featuring large Joyalukkas jewellery and Jolly Silks textile showrooms, popular for wedding and festive shopping.

For the best shopping collections and festive offers, visit during Onam (August-September), Christmas (December), or ahead of the wedding season (December-May). These periods showcase the latest designs. To avoid heavy crowds, the best time is on weekdays during non-festive months like January-February or June-July. The weather in Kollam is tropical and humid year-round, but the period from October to February is relatively cooler and more pleasant for travel.

2-3 hours

High Road

Thrissur, Kerala

Thrissur's main commercial street, known for its dense collection of gold jewelry showrooms, traditional silk saree shops, and a lively local market atmosphere.

The best time to visit High Road is from September to March, when the weather is pleasant and comfortable for walking. The street is at its most lively during festival seasons like Onam (August/September) and Christmas (December), offering a unique cultural experience, although it gets very crowded. The summer months from April to May are extremely hot and humid, while the monsoon season from June to August sees heavy rainfall, which can make shopping difficult.

2-3 hours

Banjara Market

Gurgaon, Haryana

Gurgaon's famous open-air market for budget-friendly furniture, rustic home decor, ceramics, and handcrafted items. A top spot for bargain hunters.

The best time to visit Banjara Market is from October to March, when the weather in Gurgaon is cool and pleasant for outdoor shopping. This period avoids the extreme heat of summer (April-June) and the muddy conditions of the monsoon season (July-September). Weekdays are preferable to weekends to avoid heavy crowds. Visiting during the day ensures better visibility to inspect the quality of the items.

2-3 hours

Street Shopping

Delhi, Delhi

Dive into Delhi's energetic street markets, a paradise for bargain hunters seeking trendy clothes, unique accessories, and incredible street food.

The best time for street shopping is from October to March when the weather is cool and pleasant, making it comfortable to walk around for hours. The pre-Diwali season (October/November) is lively with festive collections but also extremely crowded. Avoid the peak summer months of May and June, as temperatures can exceed 40°C, making shopping very tiring. Monsoons (July-September) can disrupt plans with sudden downpours.

Half day (3-4 hours)

Galleria Market

Gurgaon, Haryana

A well-known open-air market in Gurgaon with a mix of shops, restaurants, and cafes, popular as a social and dining hub.

The best time to visit is from October to March when the weather is cool and pleasant, making it ideal for enjoying the open-air setting and outdoor seating. Evenings are the most popular time throughout the year as the market comes alive with lights and people. Avoid visiting during peak summer afternoons (April to June) due to the intense heat. The monsoon season (July to September) can be inconvenient for an open-air market.
