Chandigarh - the clean city

 Chandigarh - A city to live in  Anyone can make out what Chandigarh is famous for - its cleanliness and the Rock Garden.  Sukhna Lake is yet another place worth a visit. It is just next to the rock garden and can be visited in the mornings for a walk or in the evenings for a relaxed walk, boating, snacking, or just hanging out.  The newly opened bird park which is just behind the rock garden is worth a visit if you are travelling with kids. 

Amritsar - The Golden Temple and more....

I stayed there overnight to have a view of the Golden Temple in the night with lights all over and the temple bright and shining and then the next day in the sunlight where it looks very beautiful and natural.  We explored a different itinerary this time but the key highlight continued to be Golden temple. Just 25 Kms before Amritsar is another Gurudwara which has the largest sarovar than any other gurudwara - Tarn Taran Gurudwara.  Other things that we did are:  Taran Taran Gurdwara  Durgyana Mandir  Gobindgarh Fort  Partitian Museum Gobindgarh Fort   Partition Museum - This is a nice place as it gives a European feal. The surroundings have been nicely done with lot of places to take pictures and eateries are all around. The famous Brother Dhaba is also nearby.

The idea was to go in the evening to see some lighting, and the temp would be a few degrees cooler than the day.    The Famous Taj hotel looks much more picturesque than the Gateway of India. It is the same place where terrorist attack took place a couple of years back.  Colaba Causeway is a nice place for shopping as well as home to some of the oldest cafes in the city.  These are two popular cafes in the area. I personally preferred Cafe Mondegar due to aircon and better sitting. The food quality was equally good in both the cafes. Leopold cafe has their own merchandise like mugs, t-shirts which is a delight to see and tells about the popularity of the cafe.   Cafe Mondegar has its own cutlery which is a delight to see. T...
