Sobre esta Tip
Akbari Mandi is a historic wholesale market for spices, herbs, grains and dried fruit, close to Delhi Gate. Enter through Delhi Gate or Akbari Gate and go early on a weekday, when it is calmer. Bring a bag, wear comfortable shoes for the narrow lanes, and ask each stall whether it sells small quantities, since bulk buying is the norm. Ask before photographing vendors up close.
