Culminate the tour at the Spice Market also known as Khari Baoli. It is Asia’s largest wholesale spice market. At present, the street is a congested and busy market with shops on both sides selling spices, nuts and herbs. You will have a unique experience here viewing the whole process of loading, carrying or unloading of huge sacks of items from manual trolleys, shopkeepers busy dealing with the customers, customers selecting large quantities of items and weary labourers resting and chatting aloud. The overall appearance seems to be very chaotic but in reality it is very well managed! There will be great photo opportunities here!!!

Thereafter visit Chor Bizarre restaurant for lunch. Savour ‘Wazwan’ cuisine, from Kashmir. The restaurant has a unique concept and all kinds of wares find their way here (with or without the consent of the owners!).

The traditional Wazwan consist of thirty-six courses! Each dish has its own tradition and brings to mind memories of events such as festivals and wedding feasts. Other than on special occasions, it is very seldom that all thirty-six courses are laid out, but eating twenty odd courses on a regular basis is quite common. The attendants pass around ‘Tasha-t-Nair’ so that you can wash your hands. It would be sacrilege to use anything but your fingers to eat this meal. People sit in fours (considered auspicious) to share sustenance with dear ones over a ‘Tarami’ (large plate). The Tarami arrives with rice and the first few courses. Each successive course follows separately to allow you to savour its distinct flavour. At the end ‘Kahwah’ is served, the aroma of which leaves you with the lingering memories of ‘Wazwan’
