Chandigarh, Union Territory, India

Chandigarh, The City Beautiful as named, is the joint capital of Haryana and Punjab, is often regarded as a prime example of modern day India.  Unparalleled in architecture and planning, the city provides an impressive standard of living.  By combining the two important factors; modernization and preservation of nature, Chandigarh continues to be considered as one of the finest cities to live in India and also the secure atmosphere, high standards of living, and of course its' picturesque scenery.

Located at just 250 kms from Delhi, Chandigarh is also a favorite with tourists, and one of the most visited cities in India.  One of the major interests lies in the history of the place which states Chandigarh to be the first planned city in independent India.  People from India and around the world, flock to this great city, in large numbers to experience the true essence of India.

Prosperous, vibrant, and breath-taking are just a few words used to describe this city.  The eye catching blue skies, and a backdrop of the mountains, magnifies the beauty of this much talked about city. Chandigarh is a major hub for shoppers and foodies, with some of the best high-end stores and outside bazaars, and don't forget all the great food in this city, makes this place a shoppers paradise.

Pictured here are pictures of me at Sukhna Lake, an artificial lake and a major attraction in Chandigarh. Sukhna Lake is a lively place where families often relax and rejuvenate with various fun activities like, renting boats to relax on the lake, and they have a small amusement park for kids and bumper cars for kids, and adults young at heart.  Also Sector 17 is a must for shoppers.  I love roaming around Sector 17.
