Sardar Market: Try or Buy- its fun anyway

The Sardar Market, which is just off the main shopping area called Nai Sadak, is a good place to buy local crafts and just about anything else. Bargaining is expected, but bear in mind that a lot of work goes into the making of these many lovely items and objects, so be reasonable. The tourist season in India is a short one, and shopkeepers depend a lot on selling to tourists.

What to buy: I found that Jodhpur had a wonderful selection of Bangles. (I have a penchant for collecting them) and I bought many of these. They are exquisite. I also bought beautiful scarves, fabric and a lovely handmade bag.
My very favourite Jooties were also bought in Jodhpur- they are as comfortable as slippers, and I wear them at home almost every day.

What to pay: Bargain- within reason. I paid about R100 for my jooties, and R150 for the bag. The bangles are cheap as chips.

Directions: The main shopping street called Nai Sadak leads straight into Sardar market
