Kotwali Bazar is the vibrant heart of Dharamshala, a bustling market street lined with shops selling Tibetan handicrafts, prayer flags, thangkas, and woolen garments. The narrow lanes are filled with the aroma of momos, thukpa, and other Tibetan street food. Visitors can haggle for jewelry, carpets, and singing bowls, or simply soak in the lively atmosphere. The market is also a hub for local life, with vendors selling fresh produce and spices. It's the perfect place to find unique souvenirs and experience the fusion of Tibetan and Himachali culture.
