As a visiting cat, I found the shopping situation in Gaya to be somewhat expensive. While there are certainly budget options available, prices can quickly add up for souvenirs and local crafts. The economy is fairly average, with some higher-end stores and restaurants available but also plenty of affordable options for those watching their pennies.

Take advantage of local markets and haggle for the best prices on souvenirs and handicrafts. Dine at smaller, local establishments for delicious and affordable food.
