THIEVES & SPICES

Introduction

Walk through the narrow lanes, tiny shops spilling with colourful wares, antiques, and spices.

Welcome to the bazaars of India. You can find them everywhere. Our Maximum city has various unique markets as hidden gems. We will take you to the two most unique markets on this tour.

Description

This tour begins with a visit to Mumbai’s hidden gem, Chor Bazaar, also known as the Thieves Market. Originally called "Shor Bazaar" (noisy market), it got misnamed by the British as "Chor Bazaar." Once infamous for smuggled goods, today it’s a treasure trove of antiques, vintage electronics, handmade film posters, and even old ship parts. If you’re a collector, this is the place to find rare items. We’ll also treat you to Mumbai’s best handmade ice cream, served here for over 150 years.

Next, we’ll head to Lalbaug spice market, where you’ll discover the rich variety of Indian spices. From Guntur to Kashmiri chilies, you’ll learn about different types of spices and see how they are dry roasted and ground into custom masala mixes right before your eyes. You’ll also get a glimpse of the traditional recipes passed down through generations.
