I love travelling all over the world. I have been to places like New York, Paris, Dubai, London, Thailand, Mauritius etc.
However we tend to ignore our own country. So I decided to travel all over India and find some of the best places only for street shopping.
The reason I did this article is because we spend a lot of money on shopping. We usually shop in fancy shopping malls which are pricey.
But if you can get better items with cheaper price from a street then why you need to go to a mall.
So I decided to create a list of some of the best places in India for street shopping. Here you not only get the better deal but also exquisite items that you can never find in fancy mall or a plaza.
