Destination & City Travel Guide

About Chandigarh

Chandigarh was built in the 1950s as the new capital of Punjab after Partition, and Le Corbusier's Capitol Complex is part of a UNESCO World Heritage listing of his work. The city is a union territory and the capital of both Punjab and Haryana, and with Mohali and Panchkula it forms the tricity, a hub for government, education, hospitals and IT. Visitors come for the Rock Garden, Sukhna Lake and the numbered sectors with their green belts, and as the starting point for Shimla, Kasauli and Himachal.

Read more about Chandigarh

Tips for travellers

Sector 17 and Sector 22 are central for a short stay, and Sector 35 and the Industrial Area have many mid-range hotels; the airport is closer to Zirakpur and Mohali. The sectors are numbered on a grid, so addresses are easy to follow. There is no metro. CTU buses cover the tricity, and app cabs and auto-rickshaws are easy to find. The Capitol Complex, with the High Court, Secretariat and Open Hand monument, can be seen on guided tours arranged at its visitor centre, and visitors need photo identification.

October to March is the most comfortable season. December and January bring fog and cold nights, and May and June are very hot. The Rose Festival in the Zakir Hussain Rose Garden is held in February. Shimla is about 115 km away and Kasauli about 60 km, and weekend traffic on the Kalka-Shimla road can be heavy, especially in May and June and during snowfall. The Kalka-Shimla toy train, a UNESCO-listed mountain railway, starts from Kalka, about 25 km from Chandigarh, and its seats should be reserved in advance. The city's wide roads and cycle tracks make it easy to explore by bicycle in the cooler months.

Best time to visit Chandigarh

October to March, with days of about 7-27°C; fog is common in December and January. May and June often pass 40°C.

Places to visit in Chandigarh

Rock GardenSukhna LakeCapitol ComplexZakir Hussain Rose GardenGovernment Museum and Art GalleryPinjore GardensLe Corbusier Centre

How to reach Chandigarh

By Air: Shaheed Bhagat Singh International Airport (IXC) is on the Mohali side of the city's southern edge, about 12 km from Sector 17; allow 25-40 minutes by road. CTU buses, taxis and app cabs link the airport with the tricity.

By Rail: Chandigarh station is the main stop, with Kalka, Mohali and Panchkula nearby. Shatabdi and Vande Bharat trains link Chandigarh with New Delhi, and a Vande Bharat continues to Amb Andaura in Himachal Pradesh.

By Road: The road south to Delhi joins NH 44 at Ambala, and NH 5 climbs from Kalka to Shimla. HRTC, PRTC and Haryana Roadways buses leave from the ISBTs in Sectors 17 and 43.

What to do in Chandigarh

Walk through Nek Chand's Rock Garden of sculptures made from waste material.
Take a morning walk or a pedal boat on Sukhna Lake.
Join a guided tour of Le Corbusier's Capitol Complex.
See the Mughal-style terraces of the Pinjore Gardens, about 20 km away.

Chandigarh airport information

Shaheed Bhagat Singh International Airport, Chandigarh (IXC). A single civil terminal, on a site shared with an Indian Air Force station, handles domestic flights and a small number of international routes.

About Srinagar

Srinagar spreads along the Jhelum and around Dal Lake, where shikaras and houseboats have served visitors since the colonial era. The Valley's economy depends on tourism, horticulture, especially apples, and handicrafts such as pashmina shawls, papier-mache and walnut-wood carving. Visitors come for the Mughal gardens of Nishat and Shalimar, the shrines and markets of the old city, the spring tulip garden, and as the base for Gulmarg, Pahalgam and Sonamarg.

Read more about Srinagar

What's new in Srinagar

June 2025: The Chenab rail bridge, 359 metres above the river, and the Katra-Srinagar Vande Bharat Express were inaugurated on 6 June 2025, connecting the Kashmir Valley by train to the national rail network for the first time.
April 2026: The Vande Bharat service was extended to Jammu Tawi on 30 April 2026, giving a through train between Srinagar and Jammu of about 4 hours 50 minutes.

Tips for travellers

Houseboats on Dal and Nigeen lakes and hotels along the Boulevard suit a short stay, and Rajbagh and Lal Chowk are more central for the old city and shopping. App cabs are limited, so most visitors hire a taxi for the day through their hotel or the tourist reception centre. Prepaid mobile SIM cards from other states do not work in Jammu and Kashmir; only postpaid connections roam.

The Indira Gandhi Memorial Tulip Garden opens for about a month in March and April, and hotel demand peaks then and in May and June. July and August are warm and green, and snow usually arrives in December, when Gulmarg's ski season begins. Dress modestly at the Hazratbal Shrine and the Jamia Masjid, where women are asked to cover their heads. Airport security is strict, with checks at the entry gate as well as in the terminal, so reach the airport early.

Best time to visit Srinagar

April to October, with days of about 15-30°C. December to February is cold, often below freezing at night, with snow in the higher resorts.

Places to visit in Srinagar

By Road: NH 44 runs south through the Banihal tunnels to Jammu, and the road past Sonamarg continues over the Zojila Pass to Ladakh in summer. JKSRTC buses and shared taxis serve Jammu and the valley towns.

What to do in Srinagar

Take an early-morning shikara ride to the floating vegetable market on Dal Lake.
Walk the terraced Mughal gardens of Nishat Bagh and Shalimar Bagh.
Climb the steps to the Shankaracharya Temple for a view over the city.
