If you're looking for traditional Indian wear, jewelry, and daily utilities, this bustling maze of shops in the heart of the city is where the locals shop.

3. City Centre Mall

For those preferring a modernized, air-conditioned experience with branded stores and a multiplex cinema, City Centre in Uttorayon is the premier mall of the region.
