Frequently asked questions
About Chandigarh
Chandigarh is a city in northern India that serves as the capital of the states of Punjab and Haryana. It is known for its modernist architecture and urban design by Swiss-French architect Le Corbusier. The currency used in Chandigarh is the Indian Rupee. The city is a perfect blend of urbanization and nature, with well-planned gardens and lakes. Chandigarh is also famous for its vibrant culture and delicious street food.
When to visit
The best time to visit Chandigarh is during the winter months from November to March when the weather is pleasant and cool. Summers can be extremely hot with temperatures soaring above 40 degrees Celsius. Monsoon season from July to September brings heavy rainfall, making it a good time to enjoy the lush greenery of the city.
Getting around
Chandigarh has a well-connected public transportation system including buses and auto-rickshaws. Taxis and rental cars are also easily available for getting around the city. Cycling is a popular mode of transport for short distances, and many areas in Chandigarh are pedestrian-friendly.
Traveller tips
When visiting Chandigarh, make sure to explore the Rock Garden, a unique sculpture garden made entirely of industrial and home waste. Don't miss the opportunity to shop for traditional Punjabi handicrafts and textiles at the local markets. Try the local street food like Chole Bhature and Lassi for an authentic culinary experience. Respect the local customs and traditions, especially when visiting religious sites. Carry a water bottle and stay hydrated, as the weather can get quite hot during summers. Always carry a map or use GPS to navigate the city easily.
