Garhwal · Western Himalaya & Trans-Himalaya

दुकानें और बाज़ार

ChotiwalaRishikesh (Swarg Ashram)से 1950s

Thali meals beside the Ganga, and a costumed doorman with a painted face and a topknot

The family business split, and two adjacent restaurants of the same name now sit side by side, each with its own Chotiwala at the door. Locals will tell you which one is which.

Prakash StoresLandour, Mussoorie

Home-made jams, marmalade, peanut butter and cheese

A one-room shop on the Landour chakkar, run by the same family for generations, and the reason a certain kind of visitor climbs the last kilometre on foot.

Cambridge Book DepotMussoorie (Mall Road)

Books, and Ruskin Bond, who has signed them here on Saturday afternoons for decades

One of the few bookshops in India where the queue is for the author rather than the stock.

Ellora's BakeryDehradun

Bakery, confectionery and cakes in the old Doon manner

A Rajpur Road institution from the era when Dehradun was a retirement town rather than a construction site.

Mana village wool and herb sellersMana, Chamoli

Hand-spun wool, thulma and pankhi blankets, and high-altitude herbs

The stalls at the last village below the Mana pass are the retail remnant of a trans-Himalayan trade that ended in the early 1960s. Buy from the weaving cooperatives rather than from the roadside stacks of mill wool.

Ringaal basket sellers at Gopeshwar and ChamoliGopeshwar

Doko carrying baskets, grain bins, mats and lidded containers in dwarf hill bamboo

Sold as working equipment rather than as craft, which is why the prices are low and the quality is high.

Garhwal Mandal Vikas Nigam countersRishikesh, Dehradun, Joshimath, Uttarkashi

Pilgrim registration, rest houses and route information for the Char Dham

Not a shop, but the practical first stop. Registration for the Char Dham is compulsory and the seasonal quotas and health checks are administered here.
