Chandigarh, with its Le Corbusier’s {Swiss-French architect and urban planner} architecture, is recognised internationally for its urban design, and, hence, its modernist buildings and landscaped roads bring out a charming and welcoming sight for the traveller in you. The open hand monument {designed by Le Corbusier} stands as a symbol for openness of ideas, peace and unity, upon which the city of Chandigarh was built.
There’s also the quintessential noob visit to The Rock Garden, which is a must. Started by Nek Chand in secret in 1957, this is a great place to spend your evening amid man-made and interlinked waterfalls and sculptures.
Another great tourist attraction in the vicinity is the artificial Sukhna lake. Resting in the foothills of the Shivaliks, the lake is home to many exotic migratory birds and local festivals, the most famous of which is the Mango festival, where umpteen varieties of Mangoes are on display.
