Exploring Top Tourist Hotspots in Chandigarh

Being one of the first planned cities in India, Chandigarh embodies and extends the spirit of idealism to its bustling sectors, luscious green belts and exuberant culture. Distinguished for its intricate architecture and rapid urbanisation, the city has no qualms about boasting its beauty, going as far as to call itself 'City Beautiful'. A trip through India is widely deemed to be deficient if Chandigarh doesn't find its place in one's itinerary. To ensure that no one calls you out for it, we have compiled a list of the most visited Chandigarh touristplaces.

SUKHNA LAKE

An inseparable part of Chandigarh, no tour of the city is complete without its inclusion. It's inevitable to leave unrewarded from this visit, as the lake's mirror-like surface draws you in, and conveys unparalleled peace. The lake's boundaries court photographers and busy painters capturing faces and scenes, a gym and a promenade to mingle with nature. Visiting the lake during the right months, whether monsoon or winter, bears its fruits in the form of storks, cranes and Siberian ducks. 

 

ROCK GARDEN

Despite it being built by Nek Chand Saini in his spare time, the garden holds his heart in its sculptures of waste and scrap, discarded throughout the city by all, treasured only by one. Nek Chand, who started his dream to recycle rejected materials from demolition sites around the city into pieces of art in 1957, never imagined that these rejects will soon be heralded as national riches. Beauty's in detail, proclaim the garden's broken pipes, bangles, bottles, tiles, sinks and electrical waste, positioned in walled corridors. Also, don't forget to check Rock Garden of Chandigarh on their website.

 

ZAKIR HUSSAIN ROSE GARDEN

Spread over 30 acres of land, the rose garden is home to 50,000 rose bushes across 1600 species. Distinguished for being Asia's largest garden, the garden also halls medicinal trees for numerous illnesses. It is advised to visit the garden during the flowering season, guidance forfeited only by those who are keen to miss out on its beauty. February and March are considered the best months for a visit as a major cultural event, Rose Festival, is hosted to celebrate the garden's magnificence.

 

JAPANESE GARDEN 

Located in Sector 31, Japanese Garden stands out for its ability to transport tourists across the globe to Japan without moving their feet. With its pagoda towers, mesmerising waterfalls, a meditation centre, lustrous golden bamboo and a Buddha idol, the garden uses elements of Japanese architecture to give the place a touch of Japan. Finding some peace of mind in the lap of nature is all that this garden is about.

 

CHANDI MANDIR

At the very core of Chandigarh lies Chandi devi, with the city's etymology being derived from the Goddess. Visited by thousands during Durga Puja, the temple provides a spectacular backdrop of Shivalik hills. The temple is located at a convenient distance of 10 km from Mansa Devi shrine, easing the tourists eager to visit both.
