Chandigarh
Chandigarh, picturesquely located at the foothills of Shivaliks, was planned by the famous French architect Le Corbusier and is known as one of the best experiments in urban planning in the twentieth century in India. The city has a pre-historic past. The gently sloping plains on which modern Chandigarh exists, was in the ancient past a wide lake ringed by a marsh. The fossil remains found at the site indicate a large variety of aquatic and amphibian life.
Sightseeing
When in Chandigarh a visit to the Rock Garden, created by Nek Chand, is a must. The amount of waste generated as villages were cleared in the construction of Chandigarh, inspired him to collect this waste and give it a second life as sculptural material. In the end he created tens of thousands of forms made by urban and industrial waste as well as local stone.The battalions of water women, pipers, chai-drinkers, monkeys, men wearing tea-cup hats and many more forms are amazing and fun to see.
Another nice way to spend your time is by making a paddle boat ride on Sukhna Lake.
Moreover Chandigarh is dotted with parks, so take a stroll at the Rose Garden and Bougainvillea Garden.For a good night out you will find several bars and nightclubs.
From Chandigarh you can visit Pinjore Gardens, built on seven levels with water features, offering panoramic views of the Shivalik hills. Morni Hills is the only hill station of Haryana, providing a taste of the mountainous landscape over the state line.
