Wednesday and Saturday, the market is definitely worth visiting, especially if
you want to meet the locals. The most interesting shopping is that of fresh
local produce. Ginger, honey, a special kind of strongish cheese, Tibetan
noodles.
The Bhutia Shop, Dambar Chowk, stocks traditional Bhutia crafts such as
woodcarvings, as well as pastel paintings, embroidered bags and other items.
Kalimpong tapestry bags and purses, copperware, scrolls and paintings from Dr
Graham's Home are sold at the Kalimpong Arts & Crafts Co-operative. Shops
selling Tibetan jewellery and artifacts can be found in the streets to the east
of Dambar Chowk. |
