Chandigarh's main draws are architectural and outdoors. The Capitol Complex and the Rock Garden are the headliners, but the city's parks, lake and museums fill out a comfortable two-day itinerary without much effort.
Start with the Capitol Complex and the Open Hand Monument — the Le Corbusier core — then walk down through Sector 17 and the Government Museum before ending an afternoon at the Rock Garden and Sukhna Lake. Save the Rose Garden for sundown.
