Nainital

Shopping Delights

Shopping here can be quite an interesting affair, with its range of tiny shops lining the Mall Road. Its most popular items are the beautifully crafted candles you'd never see anywhere else! From apples, to fairies and even idols of Ganesha, these handmade candles come in all possible shapes, sizes and designs. Nainital is also known for its jars of naturally made local fruit juices, jams, pickles and marmalade. These are also available on the Mall. Apart from this, there are wooden crafts available that make good souvenirs. The Tibetan Market is actually a flea market where you have a world of junk jewellery, Himalayan bags, scarves, woolen clothing and branded watches, not original of course. Just explore the area and you're sure to bag a good bargain! Located a little away from Nainital is Zaika. A shop managed by a husband-wife duo, pick up organic pickles, chutneys and fruit preserves, tea, medicinal oils, beauty products and herbs - all home-made.
