5 interesting things to buy at Himachal Pradesh

Every tourist destination offers you some exotic eatables and authentic local stuff to shop. Tourists make sure that they buy something or the other from the place they visit. However, if it is non-perishable, you can cherish the memories for ever. I make sure I buy some exotic stuff from the places I visit for myself and some gifts to my immediate family members and close friends if they are not on the trip. However, I am confused this time as the land of nature Himachal Pradesh has many things to offer but I have only few things to purchase. Hotels in Shimla and other places may brief you about the locally available stuff and their details.

Handicrafts: The colourful handicrafts made of threads and jute is the vibrant stuff alluring the tourists from many of the shops selling tourist stuff. Tibetan market, Handloom of Shimla, Tibetan and Dalhousie centres of handicrafts are the ideal places to buy this stuff. Jute footwear, flower vases, candle stands, book marks, wall hangings are among these stuff. You can find this stuff decorated at Shimla luxury hotels.

Woolen clothes: Since it is a hill station and is cold throughout the year, woolen fabrics are very famous there. Every shopping area hosts the woolen stuff. Sweaters, shawls, mufflers, woolen caps, gloves, socks and shoes are in attractive designs and patterns. However, the prices are to be negotiated in every tourist destination no matter how honest the seller seems to be.

Wooden items: Petty items such as key stands, pen holders, letter stands etc. are made of pine wood and are available in unique collections. These are good pieces to gift to family members and friends. However, the same rule applies to bargain extensively. Wall hangings are also in splendid designs and shapes.

Handmade tables: Small tables and Modas as they are fondly called made with wood and bamboo canes are very famous in Himachal Pradesh. The wood species is unknown but we have been using one table at home bought from Himachal before 7 years when we went to Shimla for our honeymoon. It is better to get small items as larger ones have the threat of getting damaged in between. I still can’t forget the Modas and the way they are decorated in resorts of Mashobra.

Carpets: Carpets are the cheap stuff you can ever buy from a hill station. Although they are cheap, they are huge to carry and it is a tedious task to carry the carpets which are heavy. However, if you are travelling by air, it may be easier as cargo can manage the transport of the good. If you really can manage, carpets can be the best stuff to buy from Shimla. As we were staying in a hotel in Mashobra, the staff gave us information about the best prices and models.

Hope this list entices you to buy your stuff! The Koti Resorts we were staying in gave us the above information and it has been very helpful to us and I hope it helps you too!!
