TOP 6 SHOPPING DESTINATION IN GUWAHATI- SHOPPING IN GUWAHATI

Top 6 Shopping  destination in Guwahati - Shopping in Guwahati

Guwahati being the Gateway of North East India and the biggest town in North East India have a lot of places for shopping. It is natural that if you are going to some places you will be getting indulged in this activity called shopping.  I personally like shopping at a new place as it let's me to know about the people and the things that are used by the locals.  And knowing the places for shopping is a key.  If you are here in Guwahati and go in this places for shopping I hope you will be pleased and will buy a lot of things for your friend,  family and yourself too. 

(Disclaimer : All the places that I'm saying here are totally my choice and no company or business firm have not paid me to write about them)

The following places are my suggestions to all my shopping readers to visit ones if they are Guwahati:

• Fancy Bazaar

     This is the largest market place in entire North East  India.  Fancy bazaar is a shopping Paradise for people who are looking for good product and has the talent to bargain prices it is a win-win for them . This place has to offer you a large variety of things ranging from electronics ,clothes, utensils, street food, footwear, organic flowers and many more. I would like to warn you earlier itself if you are weak at bargaining this place can take of your money. But there are places in fancy bazaar too where you can find hardcore stuff with less of your money stripped from you . I personally go to that place whenever I get time to visit Fancy Bazaar. You cannot search this place in Google map as the road is not added.  But you can search for Kamarpatti Masjid in Google maps or you can reach the Gurudwara In fancy bazaar and go towards North and the Mosque that you find at your right after walking for like 15m you can go through the narrow passage and see the magnificence of the place. You can find cheap things there.  And I would try to add the road in google then you can search right away in Google. 

You can reach this place by Bus if you are coming from Khanapara, Guwahati take the bus then land on Lakhtokia, Guwahati  and you will reach the place. If from coming from Beltola side hop onto the bus and get down on Vishal ,Paltan Bazaar,Guwahati and if you are coming from Jalukbari, Guwahati side you can directly reach Fancy Bazar, Guwahati.

• Ganeshguri

This place is quite smaller as compared to Fancy Bazaar, Guwahati considering its market size but it too have a substantial potential for a good shopper. This place is too for people who can bargain a lot.  This place is rather good for a quick stop for you if looking for a quick shopping experiences.

You can see everything here ranging from clothes to footwear. Unlike Fancy Bazaar, Guwahati this is the connecting link in Guwahati you can get into any bus and reach this place except one that goes to Narengi. This place has a Vishal Mega Mart.  And lots of local vendors. You can also buy hardware stuff in Ganeshguri, Guwahati. 

• Big Bazaar

This place is becoming the landmark of Bhangaghar, Guwahati now. This is one of the best place you want a supermarket experience. You can see its rush on sunday evening,  During my time in the coaching I might have visited this place more than 100times. You can get all your needs in this one place.  They have everything I don't think so i have to say alot about Big Bazaar everyone knows about it but still if some people who don't know.  It has products ranging from clothes to food electronics to stationary they started providing bicycles too.

I personally love this place. But this place is not ultra cheap which will be coming later in the blog so keep reading. You can reach here by bus no 13 and 02 up or down . This is right into the heart of Bhangaghar,Guwahati . I hope you like the visit here. There is only one Big Bazaar in Guwahati. 

• Vishal Mega Mart 

There are  four of this bad boys in the Guwahati.  One in Paltan Bazar, Guwahati(the largest and the oldest) ,another at Ganeshguri, Guwahati, another one in Bamunimaidan, Guwahati  and the last smallest and newest one in Kalapahar, Guwahati. This place is a big daddy if you say of cheap things.  There are cheap clothes cheap household things just like Big Bazaar, Guwahati clothes, stationary, electronics it just lacks the bicycle. 

If you are a single guy living in a rent this place is your heaven, I personally bought a lot of things for my rent at my time in Guwahati. The only downside is that the quality.  The quality is OK but not like high class.  If you are looking for cheap  'jugadu' Things you can use in day to day life and you have to save your pocket money this place is your saviour. But if you want good quality things here hardly you would find something. Still this place is worth your time. I would recommend you to visit this place there are three of  them so you can visit any one of them.  You can get into any city bus of Guwahati to reach there directly except buses to Narengi, Guwahati.  

• Brand Factory 

This place might have the largest collection of fashion according to my knowledge after Guwahati Central. This is a branch of the Future Group the firm which run both Big Bazaar and the Central chain. It has a lot of variety in terms of the quantity of the clothes that it has to offer. This place being at the heart of the Guwahati, city is not much popular to tourist and people who are new to Guwahati. I think its location is the biggest culprit followed by lack of marketing and its placement as it is hard to notice at the fast glance in the Guwahati concrete jungle.  You can reach by aging the same buses that you need to reach Big Bazaar ,Bus no 02 & 13 .

It is located behind the Lachit Nagar, Guwahati  Hanuman Mandir . I would recommend you all to visit this place if you are looking for branded clothes .

• Guwahati Central

This place is quite misunderstood to Central Mall, Guwahati . But I would like to clarify that Central Mall, Guwahati and Guwahati Central are totally different and are located on two different places in Guwahati . Central mall, Guwahati is a mall with lots of store within it. Guwahati central might be largest supermarkets  for fashion in Guwahati. It has a enormous collection of clothes, footwear and accessories.  This is a premium place but also offers alot of discount. 

Anyone looking for branded stuff I insist you to visit this place.  It is 3 floor jam packed with fashion goodness. The ground floor houses the western wear for ladies, watches, perfumes and cosmetics. The second floor houses ladies footwear, ladies ethnics wears, ladies lingerie and handbags. The third floor is for men it has casual wear for men, sports wears and footwear for men. The third and final floor contains formal clothes for men, underwear, pajama,  formal footwear, and kids section.
