ShoppingDarjeeling’s
traditional promenade, the Chow Rasta,
bustles with the increasing tourist
influx and is the throbbing heart
of Darjeeling with restaurants and
shops lining the way. It has famous
eating joints, known especially for
milk shakes, pastries and scrumptious
patties. At certain studios one can
buy the most fascinating photographs
of the snow capped mountains that
surround Darjeeling, and portraits
of locals in traditional attire are
souvenirs worth buying. Walking down
a countless flight of steps, past
colorful vendors, one will come to
the lower bazaar. It is a more traditional
and lively bazaar filled with a jostling
melee of people. |
