Market Tour of Chennai
We will meet at the statue of King George V in the city center to commence our tour through Chennai's charming markets and bazaars.
The first stop is Sowcarpet, one of the city's oldest commercial areas. Stroll through the streets and stalls while learning about the city's trading history from its origins to the present.
Next, we will visit Godown Street, the premier shopping area for textiles, dresses, saris, and other Indian garments. A professional guide will explain the traditional uses of these outfits, and you can purchase one as a souvenir of your Chennai experience.
Afterward, we will explore Black Town and George Town, characterized by busy alleys, street vendors, and colorful artisan stalls, representing the authentic Indian shopping experience.
We will then visit Parry's Corner market, popular with both locals and tourists. Each street specializes in specific products, including saris, rugs, handicrafts, and lamps.
The tour concludes at Burma Bazaar, operated by refugees from Myanmar, where you can find a variety of tech products and perfumes at competitive prices.
