Chandigarh, the capital of
both Punjab and Haryana, is the only Indian city to have been
designed and planned by a single architect – Le Corbusier. The
city, a model of wide roads and spacious residential colonies,
is an excellent base for specialised sightseeing, and for
visiting Sukhna Lake, Pinjore Gardens, the Rose Garden and the
Rock Garden. The city of Chandigarh lies in the valley
surrounded by Shiwalik Hills that hem the great Himalayas. From
here one can travel northwards to the hill resorts of Shimla
Kulu, Manali, Dharmashala and Dalhousie. Chandigarh is not only
the most modern city in the country but has been planned to
perfection by the world famous French architect le Corbusier. |
