Chandigarh

Overview

Chandigarh is India's best-known planned modern city, organised through sectors, roads, green belts and civic architecture. The Capitol Complex, Rock Garden, Sukhna Lake, museums, gardens and neighbourhood markets make it more than a transit point for Punjab, Haryana or Himachal Pradesh.

This guide treats Chandigarh as a professional destination archive rather than a checklist or personal diary. Durable historical and planning context is separated from volatile prices, timings, ratings and transport schedules, which require a current official check.
