alycat Says: Sukhna Lake is a beautiful lake that lies in the foothills of Shivalik range. The unique thing about Sukhna is that it is a manmade lake. It is a 3 km long lake that was created in the year 1958. Sukhana Lake has become an integral part of the city
mantru Says: 8 kms away from Chandigarh in Panchkula.For Flower and plant enthusiasts its a must visit...I had never seen these many varities of cactus in one place.........it was worth spending some time at this place......you can take an auto or bus reserve auto from chandigarh and...
mantru Says: Rose garden of Chandigarh, India is the largest of its kind in Asia. Named after India's former President, Zakir Hussain, this beautiful garden was set up in 1967 with the support of Chandigarh's first Chief Commissioner, late Dr M S Randhawa. Chandigarh rose garden contains...
mantru Says: Sukhna Lake is a beautiful lake that lies in the foothills of Shivalik range. The unique thing about Sukhna is that it is a manmade lake. It is a 3 km long lake that was created in the year 1958. It was done by damming the Sukhna Choe, which is a seasonal stream flowing down...
mantru Says: Chandigarh rock garden is an epitome of creativity and innovation. It is a unique garden that consists of various art objects. But the best part about the rock garden is that each of its artwork has been made by using industrial & urban waste. It is located in Sector 1...
alycat Says: The Rock Garden is now acknowledged as one of the modern wonders of the world. Over 5000 visitors each day, its a vast collection of walls built of terra cotta pots and sherds shade cobblestone paths, leading to large open areas occupied by pavilions built of concrete and...
Willettsworld Says: As no statues are allowed in Chandigarh, there's these fountains instead which can be found in the shopping centre in sector 17. One is the "dove of peace" sculpture, where water cascades down from one level to another in geometrically shaped tanks.
Willettsworld Says: I wandered around the shops in sector 17 for a while and stumbled across this very strange sight. Dozens of guys sitting at little desks typing on typewriters! I haven't seen a typewriter for about 20 years yet alone used one. There were notices around saying "Notary" and...
Willettsworld Says: This man-made 3km long lake was created in 1958 with the intension of the creators of Chandigarh to offer it to the citizens so that they can be at one with the lake and its environments and its tranquility shall be guaranteed by banning noises (which should be done...
Willettsworld Says: Lonely Planet describes this place as having a "Lost World feel" and they're not wrong. To say this place is unique is an understatement and with all this in mind, its not surprising that it has become Chandigarh's main tourist attraction.The creator of the rock garden, Nek...

Sindi Sweets: speciality snacks and sweets
cilsley Says: Clean, marble-topped tables, family oriented cafe in the basement of a sweet/snacks shop. Utterly delicious chaat and sweets. I usually look around and ask for whatever looks good on other people's tables. see the photographs...the matka kesar rubree is what brought me back...
Willettsworld Says: Located in the shopping centre in sector 17, Lyon's is a rather posh restaurant. On their menu under continental cuisine was fish and chips which was quite funny so-much-so that I decided to order it as it was something totally different and unexpected. The fish were...
Willettsworld Says: This restaurant is the only one beside Lake Sukhna and I popped into it for lunch before taking one of the paddle boats out on the lake. All I had was a nice veg noodles and coke. They serve beer here and it seems to be far more readily available than in Delhi when it was a...
Willettsworld Says: Most bus stations in India are pretty hectic places and Chandigarh's is no exception. I was staying nearby so it was very handy for me to simply take a bus to Kalka in order to take the Toy Train up to Shimla. The buses leaves leave roughly every hour and take approx an...
Willettsworld Says: Chandigarh is very well connected by train. I came here on the early Kalka Shatabdi (No. 2011) which left New Delhi station at 7.40am and arrived at 11.25am (was supposed to be 11am dead but I'll let them off!). A Chair Class seat cost Rs435 and you get plenty of legroom...
Willettsworld Says: Chandigarh's shopping centre is located in sector 17 and reminds me a lot of the one in Stevenage, a modern town dating back to the 1950's near where I live in England. The whole shopping area is pedestrianised, (and this is probably the only one like it in India), and is...
Vija_v Says: It is really interesting how people in India can manage they sleep. They are sleeping everywhere and anytime- in railways stations, on the streets, in the parks etc.While we were in the park with roses, almost under each bush and on each bench someone was sleeping :)
bradbeaman Says: Warning the roads are great in Chandigarh. Why the warning? My taxi driver came into the city at 80 kilometers per hour. I saw a smashed 3 wheeler at the circle that looked like the vehicle that hit it broadside and practically disintegrated it was going at least 80...
Vija_v Says: Designing of Chandigarh is very interesting. It is split in many, quiet big sectors and between them there are a lot of trees and bushes. That makes the city look very green and nice, but from other side this division in sectors makes it very big and quiet complicated for...
Willettsworld Says: Throughout the city, you'll find these maps so you can never get lost (not that you can as the whole city is based on the grid system). There's also a good interactive map on the website below. Note that there is no sector...
