For a place whose name is derived from guwa meaning betel and haat meaning market, it's obvious that betel nut is available aplenty. Fabric lovers should get their hands on the famous Assam Pat and Muga Silk, which are available at Sualkuchi and Pan Bazaar markets. For some local handicrafts, head out to the State Government Department Store and Pragjyotika Emporium which has a range of handicrafts and handloom products. Ganeshguri is known for its retail shops lined alongside restaurants. The Beltola Bazaar is known as the weekly fruit and vegetables market. While here, don't miss out on the Fancy Bazaar, which offers a range of footwear and clothing.
