Janpath Market stretches for more than a kilometre and is lined with boutiques selling everything from luxurious pashmina shawls to rugs and antique jewellery. You’ll easily lose hours wandering through the deluge of colours, immersed in the chatter of haggling (don’t be shy, if there is no clearly labelled price you should be haggling, too).

One of the newest attractions in the city, Champa Gali is a hideaway street full of cafés with leafy courtyards, restaurants, stores and design studios. Take a break from sightseeing to spend a few hours buried in a book at one of the cosy cafés here. The tiny street is tricky to find but you’ll discover that it’s well worth the effort – the peaceful spot feels more like a quaint village lane than busy central Delhi.
