Then, explore Punjab University campus and the Le Corbusier Centre to learn about the city's architectural heritage. In the evening, relax at Japanese Garden or enjoy a local market experience at Sector 22 or 26, known for vibrant food and fashion.
Day 3: Excursion to Nearby Hills or Historic Sites
Take a day trip to either Morni Hills (a peaceful hill station about 45 km away with scenic views and lakes) or visit Pinjore Gardens, a beautifully maintained Mughal-style garden ideal for picnics and photography. Alternatively, visit Timber Trail in Parwanoo for a cable car ride with Himalayan views. Return to Chandigarh by evening and enjoy a relaxed dinner.
Day 4: Local Markets & Departure
After breakfast, if time allows, visit ChattBir Zoo (especially great for families and kids), or go shopping for souvenirs at Elante Mall or Sector 17 Market.
