Lakkar Bazaar Shimla
|
Further down the Mall
Road is the Lakkar Bazaar, which has quite a few shops selling wooden handicrafts.
The Mall is full of shops selling woolens (most of which find their way
to Shimla from Ludhiana, Punjab) and Kullu shawls. Other favorites have
included wooden toys, walking sticks and Tibetian carpets made in nearby
Kinnaur. As the center of the food-processing industry in Himachal, jams
and squashes made from local produce are indeed worth purchasing. The stretch
between Combermere Bridge and the Telegraph Office is full of small stores
which stock handcrafted Chinese shoes. The more well-known ones include
Hopsons, Tatung and Hugh & Co
