Some of the creations in Rock Garden of Chandigarh, Punjab, INDIA...
Rock garden is near to Sukhna Lake. The entrance leads to a magnificent, almost, surrealist arrangement of rocks, boulders, broken chinaware, discarded fluorescent tubes, broken and cast away glass bangles, building waste, coal & clay-all juxtaposed to create a dream folk world of places, soldiers, monkeys, village life, women and temples. In the end there is a huge open space surrounded by different kind of mirrors having special effects. There are lot of things to do for children.
Here is another place for boating, walking and lot many other things :-) SUKHNA LAKE in Chandigarh, Punjab, INDIA...
Sukhna Lake: Personally, I like this place the most. Its a good place to go in evening & spend some time there… If you are there on Sunday, don’t miss the cultural program by Chandigarh Tourism Dept.
Here comes the place with peaceful environment... SHANTI KUNJ ...
Shanti Kunj is full of flora and fauna...
This is situated at a very peaceful place that is free from noise and pollution. It is located between Rose Garden & the Cricket Stadium in Sector-16. This is full of lush green grounds and varieties of plants/trees like vertical shaped trees, trees that provide shade, trees apt for environment & flowering trees. Also there are some medicinal plants that are utilized to cure several diseases. There is a natural stream that runs in this garden. Try to cover this place while you go to Rose garden.
Rose Garden...
Rose garden is spread over 30 acres of land having 1600 different species of roses. These have been planted beautifully carved out lawns and flowers. I have not any good photograph of rose belts because most of the time I visited the place without camera or in out of season. Every year, either at end of February or beginning of March, a big festival known as Rose Festival, is celebrated at this garden. Don’t miss the musical fountains in the evening.

Chandigarh is normally a very clean an colorful city of INDIA...
Nature has powered Chandigarh with beautiful surroundings : Shivalik Hills as backdrop, seasonal rivulets of Sukhna and Patiala ki Rao on the sides and a fertile soil. The city planners from the very beginning were conscious of the fact that the City needed to be provided with a green cover on its periphery.
