The Sukhna Lake Trail
Chandigarh and Sukhna Lake are almost synonymous. Most definitely, you can do all the cliché things at Sukhna Lake like have a boating experience, or maybe take a walk around the lake in the evening; there's a lot more that you can do here. To make things more new and innovative, you can now have a Shikara ride (similar to the ones at Kashmir) too! There is a dedicated cafe to the lake known as CITCO cafeteria that has both indoor and outdoor seating; outdoors, from where the scenic beauty can be enjoyed, in addition to spot souvenir shops to buy little curios! If that was not enough, there is a camel outside the lake that offers tourists camel rides, right by the lake! Or, ditch everything and sit in the rock stairs of the lake with your better half, and enjoy the sunset in an uncanny silence!
