Welcome to the city beautiful, Chandigarh. It is a place that has some of the most beautiful Tourist attractions like museums, parks, gardens and lake and much more. Below is the list of things to do in Chandigarh:

Rock Garden: If you throw away all the dump material from your house, visit the Rock Garden and you will see how beautifully Nek Chand has used the waste material in making of this incredible garden. The garden covers a large area displaying sculptures made from waste and recycled materials; it’s all the hard work of a brainy child that took him 40 years to create this garden. The creation of this garden started as a mere hobby and was kept secret because the land was owned by government and Nek Chand worked in the secret of night. But the day state authorities discovered this little garden there raised the controversy between demolishing and letting it stay. With victory of Nek Chand unique art the garden was further developed and later in 1976 it was opened for public viewing. No one can restrain from appreciating hundreds of human and animal forms, craftily sculpted out of regular city waste, such as broken earthenware, electrical items, drums, jute bags, broken glass, bottles, bangles, pebbles etc. To get the real feel, visit it!
