Chandigarh the way residents know it
Sectors and food streets
The grid is easy to read on a map and hard to read for food. A local knows which sector market is worth the trip for breakfast, chaat or late tea.
Sukhna Lake at the right hour
Sunrise and sunset change the whole walk. A resident tells you which side of the lake is calm and where the crowd gathers.
Rock Garden and the Capitol Complex
Nek Chand's Rock Garden and Le Corbusier's Capitol Complex are the city's headline sights. Context from a local turns them from a checklist into a story.
Weekend escapes
Kasauli and Morni Hills are short drives. A local expert can plan the day around traffic and the weather.
The gateway north
Chandigarh is the usual starting point for Manali and Sangla Valley. Find a travel buddy here to share the cab and the long road.
