Lakkar Bazaar

Shimla's dedicated wood market, a narrow lane adjoining The Ridge lined with shops selling deodar and walnut wood handicrafts ranging from walking sticks and carved figurines to kitchen items and toys. The market traces its origins to Sikh carpenters who settled here from Hoshiarpur during the colonial period when Shimla's role as the British summer capital drove strong demand for wooden furniture and fittings. It also stocks Tibetan carpets, Kullu shawls, and Pashmina, making it the most concentrated souvenir shopping stretch in the city.
