Where is Chandigarh?

Chandigarh, the city that hosts the Nek Chand Rock Garden, is a pre-planned city north of Delhi located in the State of Punjab. It was planned in 1947 after the country was partitioned to serve as the capital of Punjab and Haryana. It is one of the most modern cities of India; it has the highest per capita income; one of the highest literacy rates and considered the cleanest city in the country.

It was designed in part by the famous architect Le Corbusier, and is built on a grid system with different sectors serving different purposes. It is located near the foothills of Shivalik range of the Himalayas, which means it will be very cold when I first arrive.

Most of Chandigarh is covered by dense banyan and euca;yptus plantations. Asoka, cassia, mulberry and other trees flourish in the forested ecosystem. There are many animal and plant species.

Deer, sambars, barking deer, parrots, woodpeckers and peacocks are just some of the species indigenous to the area. Sukhana Lake hosts a variety of ducks and geese, and attracts migratory birds from parts of Siberia and Japan in the winter season.
