Detailed itinerary

Clock Tower that was built by Maharaja Sardar Singh (1880-1911) from whom the market takes its name. In fact, the tower dominates the entire scenario. The sights and sounds of the market must be experienced, even if you don’t intend to buy anything as it is a stupendous cornucopia of a mix of the human species, a spectacle where you can casually look around and see what generally transpires in a busy and noisy Indian market in a city on the run. Locals hawk virtually everything like bangles, imitation jewellery, fruit & veg, spices, pottery, baskets, clothes, etc.

This is one of the local and most bazaar you can find flamboyant Rajasthani apparel – Leheriya. Originated in Jodhpur, this unique print is done on dupattas, suits, and sarees. Bandhej cloth material is also available largely in this market. This is one of the best place for traditional and wedding clothes shopping

Best chat or street food place , if you aree street food lover this is you place .
The original chaat is a mixture of potato pieces, crisp fried bread dahi vada or dahi bhalla, gram or chickpeas and tangy-salty spices, with sour Indian chili and saunth (dried ginger and tamarind sauce), fresh green coriander leaves and yogurt for garnish, but other popular variants included aloo tikkis
