Khari Baoli Spice Market

The Khari Baoli Spice Market sits at the western end of the Chandni Chowk along the street of the same name and near the historic Delhi Red Fort. This is Asia's largest wholesale spice market, offering a wide variety of spices, nuts, herbs, teas and other items.
The market was established in the 17th century and has been running ever since, with very little change occurring across the centuries.  In more recent years however, the Khari Baoli Spice Market has become something of a tourist attraction and is certainly well worth a wander around, particularly for those interested in the history of Old Delhi.
The market is a vibrant spot made up of some dazzling displays of colorful spices, along with everything from lentils and rice to jars of chutney and pickles. Huge bags stuffed to the brim with goods such as nuts and chili, are brought up to the market on old traditional barrows where vendors display their wares with pride.
While at the spice market, it’s well worth wandering over to the Chandi Chowk area to explore some of the other bazaars in the vicinity, where everything from jewelry to textiles can be found.
