Sukhna Lake, Chandigarh
Sukhna Lake is one of the most popular tourist attractions in Chandigarh, situated in the foothills of the Himalayas. It was created by Le Corbusier in 1958, who was renowned for his passion for providing the people of populated cities with better living conditions.
Leisure Valley, Chandigarh
A continuum of various theme gardens to take care of the body and spirit of the city. Le Corbusier retained the eroded valley of a seasonal rivulet on the original site of the City and sculptured it into a Linear park now over 8km long. It starts from Sector 1 in the north and leaves Chandigarh at its southern most edge in sector 53.
Fun City, Chandigarh
The biggest Amusement cum Water Park in North India spread over 42 acres of land. It has rides ranging from thrill to family rides with the fun element. We also boast of boating and 5D theatre that is included without additional charges in the Park.
Japanese Garden, Chandigarh
Japanese Garden has been developed at a cost of Rs. 6 crores by Indian Government. The garden is designed using Japanese architecture and each of the elements in the garden is given a unique Japanese touch. Spread over an area of 13 acres, the park consists of two phases. Phase-1 of the park was inaugurated in 2014 and Phase-2 of the park was opened to the public in 2016. Both the phases of the park are connected by an underground tunnel decorated by beautiful Japanese paintings on both sides.
Sukhna Wildlife Sanctuary, Chandigarh
Sukhna Wildlife Sanctuary, which occupies an area of 2600 hectares. is situated at 1 Km. North-East of Lake Sukhna. It forms part of the catchment area of Sukhna lake that falls in the hills of Shivalik. Ecologically sensitive and geologically unstable, the Shivalik hills are therefore highly prone to soil erosion during rainfall.
Terraced Garden, Chandigarh
Terraced Garden is another beautiful garden located in Sector 33 of Chandigarh at a distance of 5 km from Chandigarh Bus Station and 6 km from Sukhna Lake. Covering an area of 10 acres, the Chandigarh Terrace Garden was set up in 1979. The main attraction of the terraced flower garden is its lighted musical fountain, which plays famous folk and movie songs. The terraced flower garden of Chandigarh includes exquisite varieties of flowering plants. The environment here is very quiet and people often visit this garden in the evenings to enjoy the cool breeze and feast their eyes on the beauty of the surrounding area.
