Sion East Mysteries

Sion East

So I'm heading to Sion East next week, spent ages trying to find a decent map online of the smaller lanes – apparently getting lost in Sion East is a rite of passage! My friend, who lives near the… more

Forget the map. Seriously. Sion East is best navigated by getting gloriously, wonderfully lost. Just wander around near the Guru Tegh Bahadur Gurudwara; the scent of frying vada pav will be your guide. Ask around – people are generally helpful. Don't be afraid to poke your head into tiny alleys. That's half the fun. The best things are always tucked away. You'll find it. I'm sure of it. And if you don't, well, you'll have a great story to tell.

Honestly, Suman Nagar's a beast. No real "best" way, it's all about getting a feel for it. I've lived here for years and still get a little turned around sometimes! My advice? Use landmarks. That little chai stall by the Hanuman temple? Make that your reference point. Or the old bakery with the cracked window. Find something memorable, then work from there. And download Google Maps offline – it's your lifeline in those crazy lanes. Don't be afraid to ask locals; most people are happy to point you in the right direction. Just smile and say "Namaste," it goes a long way. Prepare to get lost, a few times, but that's half the fun, right? You'll find cool stuff that way. You'll probably discover better vada pav than what you already found!
