Koti

Situated close to the Sultan Bazar, Koti is the perfect place for book lovers and students alike. It is named after the British Residency or Koti Residency built by the British Resident James Achilles Kirkpatrick in the later 18th century. With rows of bookshops and hawkers around Bank Street, it is the hub for bargain book hunting. From second-hand college books to bestselling novels, cartoons, cookbooks and magazines, you can find it all in Koti—if you look hard enough. Afterwards, stop at the famous street food joint Gokul Chaat, to refuel with delicious snacks and cooling beverages. If you have energy left, there are also small lanes for electronics and textiles.
