Gift your partner a Pashmina shawl and a Kullu shawl from Lakkar Bazar. Don’t miss out on shopping at the market for wooden walking sticks, Tibetan mats, Chinese shoes, and decorative paraphernalia for your home.

On Shimla Mall Road, you will find the Shimla State Museum, housing ancient collectibles, Pahari-styled art, archeological artifacts, a doll gallery, and a library.
