As a local who has lived in Bangalore and shopped in the Chickpete area for years, I've guided many across the myriad maze of stores and lanes that make this market one of the biggest in Bangalore.
We walk around streets that are popular and not so popular as well.
We sample some local sweets and snacks (If the travelers like to)
