About Chandigarh - The City Beautiful
Chandigarh, designed by renowned French architect Le Corbusier, is India's first planned city and serves as the joint capital of Punjab and Haryana. Known as "The City Beautiful," it features wide roads, organized sectors, abundant greenery, and world-class architecture. The city consistently ranks among India's cleanest and most livable cities.
Chandigarh is famous for its Rock Garden - a unique sculpture garden built entirely from industrial and urban waste by Nek Chand, the Sukhna Lake - a serene man-made lake perfect for boating and evening walks, and the Rose Garden - Asia's largest rose garden with over 1,600 varieties. The Capitol Complex, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, showcases Le Corbusier's modernist architecture.
The city also serves as the gateway to Himachal Pradesh, with Shimla just 110 km away. Many travelers combine their Chandigarh trip with visits to nearby hill stations like Kasauli (60 km), Parwanoo (35 km), and Shimla (110 km).
