If you’re in Agra and think it’s all about the Taj Mahal, think again. Tucked away in the heart of the city lies one of India’s most fascinating, off-the-beaten-path shopping zones: Hing Ki Mandi. Sure, the name might throw you off—it literally translates to “Asafoetida Market.” But surprise, surprise… today, it’s all about shoes.
Hing Ki Mandi is where India laces up—literally. With over 5,000 shops and hundreds of thousands of shoes changing hands daily, it’s a major player in Asia’s footwear trade. Whether you’re into handcrafted leather kicks or just want to snag a deal, this market’s got sole.
Adding a Hing Ki Mandi Experience With Golden Triangle Tour takes your journey beyond the usual postcard moments. Alongside the iconic sights of Delhi, Agra, and Jaipur, this bustling shoe market gives you a taste of the city’s industrious spirit—and a chance to walk away with some seriously cool kicks.
