Old Delhi Street Food and Spice Market Walk

India Food Tour runs a three-to-four-hour host-led walk that combines street eating in Chandni Chowk with a working tour of Khari Baoli, the wholesale spice market that has traded since the seventeenth century. Starting from Gate 5 of Chandni Chowk metro station, the route takes in eight to twelve tastings across the bazaar's chaat, paratha and sweet stalls before moving into the spice market itself, where the local host explains how whole spices are sorted, graded and blended for the wholesale trade. The walk climbs to a rooftop overlooking the market for the standard panoramic view across the sacks and awnings, and finishes with a masala chai stop. The price includes the host guide, all tastings, market access and the chai; it does not include any spice purchases made independently at the market, which visitors are free to negotiate on their own. Group sizes are kept small for movement through the market's narrow aisles, the walk runs in English, and the pace allows time to talk with individual spice traders rather than moving straight through. Vegetarian tastings are the default for most of the stops on this route already, since Khari Baoli itself sells no cooked food, though the Chandni Chowk portion can be adjusted for other dietary needs on request. Because Khari Baoli operates as a working wholesale market rather than a tourist attraction, mornings before the day's trading peaks are the quietest time to visit, and several operators including this one schedule departures accordingly.
