Little India

Standing at the centre of this place, and you wonder are you in Singapore. Indian men going to the temples, the smells of spice, the vibrant colours of jasmine garlands and the blasts of Bollywood music.Then, you look up at the road signs and begin to scratch your head - streets with names like Dickson Road, Clive Street, Dunlop Street, and so on. Why such English-sounding names in an Indian district?

Well, initially these streets did not begin as an Indian district. Europeans were the first settlers in the 1820s. The streets got these names from the Europeans. The place flourished and so did other economic activities. These drew many Indian immigrants to this area.

Today's Little India

Little India is very different from the rest of Singapore. Because it is authentically Indian, and within Singapore, the businesses here are gravitated towards the locals, not the tourists - which is why the real travellers simply love it.

The best way to appreciate Little India is to walk. Take our photo tours, and see how enchanting this place is. You'll never regret it.

The Tekka Mall

You could have easily mistaken Tekka Mall to be any shopping centre in Singapore. Don't be fooled by the fascade of that as it is pretty interesting inside. The Tekka Mall is the first building you will see when you come out of the Little India train station. You will find pretty sarees in all of Singapore. You will also find good bargains in the many antiques-and-collectibles shops there. Click here to read more...
