The experience
The walk starts at Rock Garden, a 40-acre open-air exhibition of sculptures built from urban and industrial waste. From there you move into Nagar Van, the City Forest area, where the pace slows and the trees thicken. The guide shares stories and local knowledge as you walk, and the route is suited to all fitness levels, so the rhythm stays steady without strain.
The Lake Reserve Forest trail comes next, a section that leads toward the Gurusgar Sahib Gurudwara nestled at the foothills of the Shivalik Hills. The walk ends at Sukhna Lake, a man-made body of water with clear blue water that sits as a natural boundary to the city. Tea or coffee is served during the tour, and the guide offers recommendations for other spots worth visiting in Chandigarh once you've finished.
