We can also call Chandigarh “The Garden City of India”. Chandigarh is surrounded by beauty all around. Le Corbusier planned each sector in such a way that it has the round on clock access to greenery and fresh air. So he included various gardens or green belts in the master plan of every sector.
These pretty little places are sources of leisure as well as entertainment. Early mornings and cool evenings can be wonderfully spent in the nature’s lap after a busy and tiring day. They are the best rejuvenating facilities available to us.
We very well know Rose Garden, Leisure Valley, The Garden of Silence, but do you know about these?
