Keep these things in mind
- Karol Bagh Market is closed on Mondays i.e. Mondays, so do not go for shopping on this day by mistake. Although there are many street shops here on Mondays, but all the big shops remain closed. So if you want a complete and great shopping experience, go for a day other than Monday.
- Like all the big and popular markets of Delhi, there is a lot of havoc of pickpockets here, so be a little cautious. Keep your bag, purse, mobile phone and other valuables with you. Try not to wear expensive jewellery.
- Karol Bagh Market is very crowded all the time, so try not to take a car and if you go, park it in an authorized parking and go shopping. Do not take a car to the market or else it may cause a lot of trouble not only to others, but also to you.
- The market is huge and you have to cover most of the way on foot, so always wear comfortable footwear. This applies not only to Karol Bagh but to every shopping trip.
- As we mentioned that Karol Bagh is open on all days except Monday, due to which there is a lot of crowd on weekends i.e. Saturday-Sunday. If it is possible for you, then go shopping during the day on a weekday, during which you will find less crowd.
- There are ATMs every short distance in the market and most of the shopkeepers take payment by card, Paytm or Google Pay, so do not carry more cash with you.
- There are many shops selling the same things here, so first go around a little and take a look, and then after finalizing a shop, shop from there.
- When buying anything from street shops, check the goods thoroughly as it can be very difficult to find that shop or hawker again if the defect is found later. Many shopkeepers refuse even for return or exchange, so confirm this thing in advance.
- Beware of imitators! Yes, in this market, apart from pickpockets and thieves, you will also find many fraud hawkers who will sell you branded watches, glasses, bags, cosmetics etc. on the road at low prices. Never fall in their trap. Almost everything they have is fake and of substandard quality.
