Hazratganj Market
Best time to visit
Evenings after 5 PM offer cooler temperatures and the fairy lights create a magical atmosphere. Weekdays are quieter for a more relaxed stroll.
Budget tips
No entry fee to explore the market; bargaining is common, so start at 30% below the asking price to save money. Carry small cash notes as many shops don’t accept cards.
