I preferred looking around and shopping here compared to other markets in Jaipur (near Hawa Mahal etc). We went early morning and not too many around and was easier to walk around and get around shop keepers trying to get you in their shop. Lots of items to see and we bargained a little bit but items are already quite reasonable anyway. We got a tuk tuk from our hotel who waited at the same spot for us after an hour. Wish I had have had more time to have a look around.

Bapu Bazar is fun and lively with lots of stores selling costume jewelry, scarves, clothing and handicrafts. It is ok to bargain a little. I bought a couple of colorful scarves and costume jewelry bracelets.

A great bazaar that comes alive late in the day. At night the vide is truly frenetic! A real Indian buzz. You’ll be invited into every shop you walk past, but hey, that’s all part of the Indian experience. 🙂

Must visit shopping area during your trip to Jaipur. All the shops are colourfull with various varieties of cloths, bags, joothis, accessories. One tip to tourists: always start the bargaining price from 1/3rd of price coated by shop keeper. We did end up paying very high for few items.

I’d found out about this bazaar before our trip to India. It was so worth it. The number of colorful items on display was amazing. The shopkeepers were fun and most spoke very well English. We arrived at 10 AM so they weren’t all yet open but we stayed until about 2 PM anyway! They all wanted to make deals and invited us into their shops. They were very easy going and not upset if you didn’t buy anything. They all kept saying looking is free. We loved their attitude and friendliness. Some were a little pushy to go inside but honestly toward the end, we weren’t looking or talking to the ones who were just sitting looking at their phones or inside their stores. The ones who wanted us were the ones who would give us a good price. It was an excellent experience and we recommend it. We didn’t buy anything in Lajpat Nagar but we were successful here and loved all the colors!
