Laad Bazaar was set up by former ruler, Mohammed Quli Qutb Shaw who is the Founder of Hyderabad city. This Bazaar was set-up as a shopping destination for the wedding of his daughter. Till today this Bazaar is famous and popular hub for a brides-to-be and wedding apparel.
Laad Bazaar is also called as Choodi Bazaar which is located on one of the four main roads that branch out from the historic Icon Charminar.
Laad bazaar is Famous for Bangles, Pearls and Semi precious stones
Tips to follow for better shopping experience
1. This Bazaar is of very narrow roads. Hence Auto Rickshaw's and Cars are not allowed inside. So you plan your trip on Two wheeler or book a Private Cab. If you are choosing to go by personal four wheeler then you will be in trouble. getting parking place for four wheeler also difficult here.
2. Most of the shops are selling items at Negotiable rates. So don't commit to the rates what they mentioned. Negotiate at your best skills. Generally 20 to 50% is the Margin what they will tell you. so you have to bargain to get best price
3. Please plan your shopping timings before 7 pm as in lighting there will be color variations. Best time is 02:00 pm to 06:00 pm

Wow.....what a local shopping experience with the crazyiness of the local traffic and driving mixed into it via both a rickshaw drive and walk. Massive variety of goods on sale and the advantage of being right at Charminar. Plenty local.street food around. Juliano Sangiorgio

It is difficult to get to the helm of Laad Bazaar if you are in a car or anything bigger. The narrow roads and millions of people make it unnavigable! You better go to this place in rickshaws or autos and be prepared to walk considerable distances on your own.
Having said that, even the stuff on offer is very average. Can get it anywhere else in the world.

Laad Bazaar is a small street near Charminar. It has a wide variety of Bangles for ladies and is extremely crowded during evenings. Heavy bargaining is required to arrive at a fair price.It is also a good place to buy some cheap dry fruits.

Visit the bazaar to get yourself some bangles or maybe a sherwani. Right next to Charminar it is a great walk.
It has a lot of great places to eat and shop so take your time in the area.

Alleys in alleys and glittering shops selling bangles in all shapes, sizes, hues in these alleys. Laad bazaar is the shopping area near famous Charminar of Hyderabad selling bangles, earrings, neck pieces and what not when it comes to artificial jewellery. The womenfolk who are into shopping will find this place insanely good. A word of advise though... little congested and a conservative area. But don't miss the place and find some beautiful pieces for yourself and your gal pals.

Worth exploring too see the kind of assortment and range each shop has. There are many different kinds of shops and a fun place to buy trinkets from. If you're looking for something unique and truly Hyderabadi though you might have better luck in a fancier place like Banjara hills

We went to Charminar but only visited the Makkah Masjid as well. Big mistake, visit all 3 because you are there. We went back to buy from the Bazaar.
Don't expect high quality merchandise you are in the heart of the market rubbing shoulders with the locals and asking questions. They don't care if you are black white or brown they only want to sell. Do be aware their math can leave a lot to be desired until you question them on it, you will get a polite apology. Take it and move on it is all part of the trade and they are good at it. Small bills are best no argument give them the correct money. Enjoy this experience, we did.
Oh and don't forget you will need to dodge the traffic as well, very easy to learn just make sure you signal your moves and don't stand still.
