Proceeding further, we walk through the small old streets enjoying the view of sweet shops where sweets are being sold in wonderful shapes and colors.
From here we take a walk to the tea market. When the British entered Punjab, they first started out as tea merchants before gradually taking over the empire. You see many shops here selling black, green, Darjeeling & Assam tea.

They say a meal here is not complete without a Papad – The wafer thin crisps made from lentil flour and sun dried. They come in many flavors. The aroma in this market is a wonderful experience.
Now we walk through a street famous for its sweetmeats and flavored syrups. Boiled fruits are preserved in sugar syrup to make sweetmeats. Also rose, sandal, almond, orange, lemon and many other flavored syrups are sold here.
From here we come upon an old bakery. The old couple running this place is always very welcoming. Now we enter the Herb market. Different herbs are sold here for Ayurvedic and other purposes.
