Must-visit Shopping Spots in Siliguri

Siliguri is a major city in West Bengal and a shopper’s paradise, thanks to its convenient location. This "Gateway to Northeast India" lies between four international borders - those of China, Nepal, Bhutan and Bangladesh. Perched on the foothills of the Eastern Himalayas, this city attracts tourists for many reasons - the dense flora and fauna, the Darjeeling Himalayan Railway toy train and Coronation Bridge, to name a few. But shopping in Siliguri takes the cake as a worthwhile activity for tourists.

This popular trading hub will not disappoint you as it has something for everyone. Tourists take home trinkets like Tibetan paintings and Sikkimese handicrafts, with Choktse - a foldable and portable wooden table, being the most popular. Shoppers can also rejoice at the unbelievable deals on Darjeeling tea, beautiful embroidery work and jute products.

You can indulge in shopping for these goods at both street shopping complexes and at upscale malls in Siliguri. Here is a list of some of these spots and their specialities.
