Chandigarh Walking Tour
Chandigarh, India
Why Walk Chandigarh
Chandigarh was designed from scratch in the 1950s by Le Corbusier as the new capital of Punjab after Partition. The Capitol Complex — including the High Court, Secretariat, and Open Hand Monument — is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the most important collections of modernist architecture in the world. Nek Chand's Rock Garden, built secretly from recycled waste, is a folk-art wonderland.

Walking Tip
Chandigarh is laid out in numbered sectors — navigation is logical but distances are large. The Capitol Complex requires a permit to visit; arrange in advance.
Best Time to Visit
October through March for pleasant weather. Summers exceed 40°C. Monsoon (July through September) brings rain but greens the city.
