What to expect

To start our tour to the City Beautiful, we will meet at the common assembly point at the Zakir Hussain Rose Garden from 10 min before the start time. We will start our tour once all the guests have arrived. After basic instructions and introduction from our tour leader, we will start our amazing ride to explore this Capital City of Punjab and Haryana.

As our first point of attraction in our tour, we will explore this amazing botanical garden which is specified as Asia’s largest. Apart from 1600 different species of rose flowers, we will also come across different trees of medicinal values. Our tour guide will also make you aware of the annual rose festival that happens here during the months of February-March.

Heading towards our next destination from here, we will come across the Tank monument which is actually a real tank captured in one of the wars and kept in the middle of the road fenced from all sides, as a mark of success for people to feel proud of.

Moving ahead from here, we will reach the Leisure Valley where people usually come and sit and relax for a while away from the city hum-drum. This is basically a continuum of various theme gardens to take care of the body and spirit of the city. Our knowledgeable experts will guide you through each and every of this starting from North and ending at the Southernmost edge of the city.

Now is the time to unleash the creativity of the master architect of this planned city - The Capitol Complex. Located at the backdrop of Shivalik Hills, the complex is actually a UNESCO Heritage site, the importance and the architectural beauty of which will be highlighted well by our tour leaders during the tour. We will also come across two monuments here - The Open Hand Monument and The Tower of Shadows which will be highlighted on our way within the complex.

Rock Garden, for which Chandigarh is famous worldwide, will be next in our list of tourist attractions. A garden where sculptures are made of scrap and other kinds of waste is a site to watch.

An inseparable part of the city of Chandigarh is the Sukhna Lake. It is a place where serious walkers pursue an exercise regime, families enjoy an evening stroll and nature lovers mingle with children on roller skates. Enjoy the site as our guides will guide you through the importance and little about the history of the lake.

We all want some time off for relaxation and for meditation. So the garden of Silence is a place that goes synonymous with this. The garden features a statue of seated Budha which is one of the latest monuments in the city.

The Highlight of the tour would be a point where we can actually see the spot from where the entire city was designed - a building which is of immense historic value to Chandigarh. Learn about the technological, formal, and aesthetic spirit of modern architecture, while strolling through the museum.

Lastly, to also taste the flavor of the city, we will head towards our final destination which is the India Coffee House. Basically a restaurant chain in India run by workers co-operative society, it serves one of the best food for people in their unique authentic way.

In order to bid farewell to each other, we will end the tour at the same point from where we started up - Zakir Hussain Rose Garden and take back this overwhelming memory with us.
