A day of exploring the market in Karol Bagh


Thanks to my friend, Shafi, we had a marvelous day of shopping in Karol Bagh. This area is a mixed residential and commercial neighbourhood in Delhi, known for its shopping streets, like the Gaffar Market and Ajmal Khan Road. We spent a good portion of the day on Ajmal Khan Road and some of the small streets running off of it.



It was so helpful to have someone who speaks Hindi with us. We marvelled at Shafi's haggling and I learned a thing or two about how a little subtle flirting goes a long way!  I had two salwar kameez tailor-made and one other altered in just a little over 4 hours. Here's one of the newly created salwar kameez.

Next it was Keith's turn to be outfitted. We found a great "shop" tucked in between to buildings.
