Landour Bazaar

← Mussoorie

AreaBetween Picture Palace and Mullingar bend

One of the oldest hill bazaars in India grew up here after 1827 to supply the Landour military hospital and cantonment, and it still works as a market rather than a display. The street climbs narrow between silversmiths, tailors, brass-and-copper shops and kabari dealers (the second-hand and antique trade), many of them run by families several generations deep. Old silver bangles and Raj-era curios are the classic hunt. This is the working lower market, distinct from the quiet colonial quarter above it; Ruskin Bond's writing made the street famous, and his Ivy Cottage sits a few bends up.
