Short break to rest and change before heading out to the night market; most hotels near the city center are 10–20 minutes from Pipliyapala by car depending on traffic.
Indore's famed night bazaar where jewelry shops close and food stalls open — sample bhutte ka kees, garadu, sabudana khichdi, malpua, rabri and local chaats. The market usually begins lively around 8:00pm and runs late into the night (often until midnight).
If energy remains, stroll the nearby streets to experience late-night Indore or head back to your hotel to rest; central Indore remains lively after dark around Sarafa and Chappan areas.
