Akal Travels Money Changer

Our shop is at number 90 in the Guru Teg Bahadur Market. It’s quite close to Dukhniwaran Sahib here in Patiala. We’ve been operating out of this market for a good while, mostly helping people with their currency and travel needs. The market stays pretty active throughout the day, so there’s always something happening outside the door. We handle various currencies for people going abroad or coming back home. It's a small setup, just a regular counter and a couple of us working here. We don't really do big advertising or anything. People usually find us because they’re already in the market for other things. Sometimes the exchange rates change fast, so we spend a lot of time looking at the screens. It’s not a glamorous job, but it’s what we do. The area near the Gurudwara is always busy, especially on weekends. We try to keep things organized, though the paperwork can pile up on the desk sometimes. If you’re coming down to Guru Teg Bahadur Market, we’re easy to spot. We just focus on getting the money changed correctly and making sure people have what they need for their trips. It’s a simple business. We open early and stay until the market starts to quiet down in the evening. There are plenty of other shops around us, so it’s a nice community to be part of in this bit of Patiala. We handle the money side of things and some travel bits too.
