This is an amazing huge market, especially for wholesalers but also for people like me. Sachan Tours had arranged a special walk for us through the masala market, Fatehpuri mosque, and in several gullies where things are sold pretty cheap. One can not walk in the spice market without a mask because of the strong smell of spices, but it's worth seeing. We even bought some spices a bit of dry fruits. If you are in Delhi, it must be visited.

Good but very crowded place for you to obtain your daily or household needs or festival items. A go to place for locals. Nothing much for tourist. Several historical places along the way.

When we go there we have multiple choices to eat along with the work we want go there to do. This time we visited Favwara Chowk and have Fruit Cream just outside the Gurudwara. Delicious sweet taste that you will always remember for years to come. You can drive your car after 9pm in Chandni Chowk. Chandni Chowk is redeveloped few years back.

I have never felt so unsafe. As a white woman (dressed modestly) I was followed and stared at (I expected the staring), people tried to grab my bag, people kept trying to touch me or rub against me, the men offering the bike tours just kept riding next to me even when I both politely and firmly said I wanted to walk. My husband was with me and speaks Hindi and said they were making comments about me also. At one point when people wouldn't stop following me through alleys of shops I went inside a temple just to be able to breathe and relax for a minute. It's a shame, because in terms of the stalls I could have spent all day there and I don't want to go to a country and watch the culture from the sidelines, but to be honest I couldn't wait to leave and never go back.

New Delhi, in my view is an elitist city, home to Prime Minister Modi & government buildings. The best of New Delhi aside from the historical sites & monuments, is the home & gardens where Ghandi spent his last days which is definitely worth a couple of hours. It is a truly spiritual place. However, most impactful part will be venturing into the central part of Delhi. You must experience the traffic, the throngs of people, the food stalls, the colors. Foremost, I will never forget our visit to the beautiful Sikh Temple & community kitchen where anyone can volunteer to help cook. They feed approximatley 40,000 people per day. We were warmly welcomed & invited to help prepare roti. Whoever is sitting next to you will guide you. You can come just to eat dal & roti with thousands of others. No questions are asked. Hopefully you will learn about Sikhism. If you have more than a few days, travel, travel, travel. India & its people are a remarkable melting pot of cultural diversity. A smile & "namaste" is always graciously returned.

All I say is 'This is India'. Do not go alone. I was a female solo traveller. I had a guide with me. It is beyond busy, people are tightly packed together. I didn't even take a bag. Just carry small change in a pocket. Much safer. I got a little nervous in some parts as people were pushing and it was really busy. I enjoyed the atmosphere and browsing the many shops from clothing to spices, electronics, food and more. Vendors can be pushy. We went on a Saturday afternoon, early evening. It was lovely as the area became dark and the lights came on. Cool atmosphere. There is a metro station nearby but we took an uber. Just take into account, if you book an uber, you can wait up to forty minutes with the traffic! Try and walk down some of the small alleys. You will find beautiful old buildings and 'traditional life'.

You have to love chaos and people to appreciate this place. This is where they organise street food tours so a lot of places serve safe food for non-Indians bellies. There is a section called the spice market (you'll have to make your way inside a building called Gadodia Market), the air is full of spice smell. Although not odorant, it's very agressive and makes you cough / sneeze after only 3 min. Very unique and something you surely won't find in many places.

Very very crazy place. Get a guide and hire a driver for the easiest visit. If you’re looking for something figure out where it is as everything has its own blocks. Bargain for deals and wear close toed durable shoes. Hire a rickshaw driver to get around. Definitely a once in a lifetime experience

Narrow busy bustling lanes in the center of the city. Great places to eat. It's an experience to walk through those extremely narrow busy lanes of chandni chows. It was the Pulse of whole sale and retail trade and had some amazing places to eat. Must have Daulat ki chaat and Parathas at paratha gully.

A bustling market where you buy just about anything. Crowds and chaos and just about every smell you can imagine, from spices and tea shops to...well, not so pleasant smells. It's an interesting perspective into the old "heyday' of Delhi. Rickshaws and Cows all over the area and the lanes are tiny and narrow. If you're not someone that likes crowds and congestion, this is not the place for you. If you're into history, it's worth checking out at least once. For me, once was enough and I'll probably never make it back. Would have liked to see it back in the 60's. Today, it's just way overcrowded and hasn't been able to keep up. Lots of construction and lack of infrastructure to help keep the area clean.
