SHOPPING

Generally the range of shopping will be better in the larger
towns and cities – eg Bangalore, Chennai, Cochin. If you are
looking for antiques then the Jew Town area of Cochin and
Chettinad in Tamil Nadu are the areas to head for.
Kanchipuram near Chennai is the place to go for silks.
Handicrafts are available throughout the region and the best
prices are likely to be in the government owned shops (where
items are priced). Spices are also widely available,
although be aware that those on sale in the spice growing
areas are not necessarily the cheapest. Body products (eg
soap, shampoo, toothpaste) made with natural materials are
also widely available. |
