The nearby town of Chamba has a street market where one can by handmade souvenirs, artifacts and local handicrafts such as basket made from local bamboo, clothing made with local nettle weed fabric etc. There are local shops on the way and even within Kanatal which sell Rhododendron juice made locally from Rhododendron flowers and a few Chai shops along the way to refresh and energize tourists during the drive to Kanatal.
