There are many places in Jaipur which one should visit if he or she is coming to jaipur but still it's not practical to visit each and every place of the city you are going to,nobody plans a long enough trip so that he/she can go through every place and shop from everywhere.So in this post i would be talking about the must visit places for a shopping freak like me,so that in a less time one can get enough variety and stuff to choose from, like jewellery to clothing,handicrafts to handloom and many more,so let's see which markets are a must visit if you are planning a trip for Jaipur.
1.Johri Bazar-Johri bazaar is a must visit place if you are planning for a shopping trip to Jaipur. It's very famous and crowded, it's totally a shopper's delight. Johri Bazar is your best bet if you plan to look for sarees and lehengas in colourful bandhej,this bazaar is specially famous for its collection of sarees and lehengas in not only bandhej but other traditional works like jaipur's own gota patti work. For sarees and lehengas you can try Rooplaxmi, Rana Saree Emporium,Jaipur Saree Kendra and many more stores like these there.
As the name suggests, Johri Bazar is essentially a place for gems and jewellery and famous for its glittering gemstone jewellery as well.
Triton mall is located in Jhotwara and it's the only mall which has bowling in it so if you are a bowling game freak go ahead and visit it .

shops for gold, silver and studded jewellery.
