Jaipur: Chameliwala Market
The Vibe:A working market, not a tourist one.
A market area in C-Scheme trading largely in wholesale and everyday goods rather than souvenirs. It serves Jaipur residents and small businesses rather than visitors.
Tight rows of shopfronts with goods stacked out onto the pavement. The pace is transactional and unhurried by tourist attention.
