Kumaon · Western Himalaya & Trans-Himalaya

दुकानें और बाज़ार

Khim Singh Mohan Singh RautelaAlmora (Lala Bazar)

Bal mithai and singori

One of the two names most often given when you ask in Almora who makes the original bal mithai, and one of the reasons the Lala Bazar lane smells of caramelising khoya all day.

Joga Lal ShahAlmora (Lala Bazar)

Bal mithai, singori and chocolate

The other name people give. The disagreement about which is better is a settled local pastime.

Panchachuli Women WeaversMunsiyari

Hand-spun and hand-woven wool — shawls, blankets and rugs from high-valley flocks

A women's weaving enterprise built on the Johar valley's wool tradition after the trade that supported it ended. Worth visiting for the workshop rather than only the shop.

The Tamta copper workshopsAlmora

Beaten copper gagar water pots, cooking vessels, lamps and temple bells

Buy from the workshops rather than the display shops if you want to see the hammering. Cooking copper is tinned inside; ritual copper is not.

Sakley'sNainital (Mall Road)

Old-fashioned bakery, pastry and confectionery

A survivor from the hill-station era, and a useful marker of what Nainital's shopping street used to be.

Bageshwar Uttarayani fair stallsBageshwarसे 1921

Copper, ringaal, wool, iron tools and hill produce, once a year in January

The date given is not the fair's founding — it is far older — but the year it became a political event, when the coolie-begar registers went into the Saryu.

Kumaon Mandal Vikas Nigam countersNainital, Almora, Munsiyari, Pithoragarh

Rest houses, permits and route information for the inner valleys

The practical first stop for Darma, Byans and the Adi Kailash route, all of which need permits and none of which should be attempted on a casual plan.

Kumaon की मशहूर दुकानें, बाज़ार और कारख़ाने, और हर एक किस चीज़ के लिए जाना जाता है। (7)
