    If you’re aiming for a quieter visit, try heading in the early morning around 6 or 7 a.m. The market is open 24 hours, but crowds usually swell after 10 a.m. On weekends the stalls are busiest around noon, so an early start lets you stroll through the traditional Punjabi attire and handicraft stalls before the rush. If you want a guided walk, check with the local tourism office they sometimes run short heritage tours that cover the market’s growth from a small cluster to its current size. After a day of browsing, you could stay at the Hotel Park Plaza Ludhiana, which is only a mile away and offers comfortable accommodation.
