About Lakkar Bazaar
Lakkar Bazaar in Shimla stands not just as a marketplace but as a testament to the skilled craftsmanship of its people. A famous hub for its exquisite wooden handicrafts, Lakkar Bazaar offers Kullu Shawls, dry fruits, and woolen caps, making it a one-stop-shop for a variety of unique items. Particular wooden toys crafted by Sikh carpenters from Hoshiarpur are something to look at. The Sikh carpenter who settled here a century ago has left an indelible mark on the market’s wooden craft.
Lakkar bazaar acts as the base for the trek to Jakhu Peak, which is quiet for its Hanuman statue. You can either go by walking or by cable car. It provides a perfect blend of shopping and exploration.
Ice skating joy in the nearby skating rink is another good option to explore , especially in winter. It adds another layer to the Lakkar bazaar experience.
