This is sukhna lake, not like natural lake since its man made but was a nice surprise.
One of the surprising facts was Rock Garden, was made in 1988, a true surprise. Must visit site and may be we will visit once more in winters. Its has cool falls, treaas, walls and all made up of wastes like tiles, cups etc. This was much beyond what i had expected. Must visit when once is in Chandigarh.
What extraordinary abt chandigarh is the way it has been developed. Very rare cities in india can compete with the infrastructure Delhi and Noida has. Its one of them. Very organized and nice people
The next target was Amritsar, around 260 KMs
away from chandigarh through NH1 highway which we joined from ambala. The places to visit there are Swarn Mandir, Durgyani Mandir, Jalian Wala Bagh and Wagah Border.
I am eager to explain more abt Swarn Mandir, though we visited the same on next day. Its amazing, astonishing and marvelous. The way sikhs dedicate themselves to sewa is surprising. There we no parking issues, no big queues and we were able to visit the main temple with very ease, stayed there as long as we wanted. Its a must visit mandir. Hats off !
We all at there :)
The first place we went from Amritsar was Wagah Broder, around 40 kms away from the main city. Was a single highway to the India borser with pakistan. I was damn excited to see the place. Was first time we cud see Pakistan soldiers with Indian Army. BSF (Border Security Force) maintains that place. T
he gathering was much above my expectation. It was infact huge. Too many cabs and cars. And before the main gate, it was like some fest :).
It was nice to watch the BSF jawans saluting, marching and carrying the Indian flag. Its a one time opportunity to watch Pakistani citizens and the army with Indian citizens and Army. Must see place :).
We went to Jalian Wala Bagh where 2000+ Indian were killed by British Army. Somewhat not enjoyable but place to remember the sacrifices done for our freedom. This place was bought by Indian National congress and dedicated to the country. This was the last place to finish our trip !
