Monsoon visit to the cheapest plant market of Kolkata : Gallif street

Located in Galiff street in the Bagbazaar region, this market is one of the few Only Sunday markets of Kolkata and is a pet lover’s paradise. Starting early on each Sunday morning, this market is open to visitors until late afternoon. Located a few minutes from the Shyambazar 5 point crossing. From the crossing, one has to travel towards BT road and the market would be situated at the left side, before the first bridge ahead. Considered the place to be to get oneself a pet, this is the largest pet market of the city as well as the oldest one. Initially developed in Hatibagan, a well-known place also in North Kolkata, this market was shifted to a bigger base due to space constraints owing to its soaring popularity. Also, known as the “Bagbazar Sokher Haat” or the Bagbazaar Hobby Market, the road on which this market thrives every Sunday is non-functional and closed for the day except the movement of a few trams, since the depot is to be reached through the road. The market is open by 4;30 a.m., and is fully functional and flooded with customers by 7 or 8 a.m. Pet business owners are usually the first ones to arrive along with the hobbyists. Hobbyists can sell their stock directly in this unique market.
