Overview

Lahore’s bazaars are an experience in themselves — sprawling, sensory and centuries old. This tour threads through Anarkali (one of South Asia’s oldest surviving markets), the fabric and household lanes of Ichhra, and the specialist craft streets of the Walled City where coppersmiths, embroiderers and spice merchants still trade.

Your guide helps you read the market, find the good stuff, and — crucially — bargain without stress or offence. Come to browse or to buy; either way it’s a feast for the senses.
