Overview of your Chandigarh tour:

The first planned city of India, Chandigarh, packs surprises in design & urban planning like nowhere else. Bustling in the foothills of the Himalayas, this French architect-designed city follows European-inspired brutalist civil order, with a surprisingly warm culture. Discover the charm of the 'city beautiful' led by a senior local journalist turned guide & a 3rd-gen resident As an activist & an ex-journalist, I keep my stories facts based, with no exaggerated claims of national pride- so you can make your interpretations Private, insider personalized access to hidden heritage spaces here, at a very comfortable pace, packing stories from my life here that’ll leave you entertained Learn how we tackled the summer heat climate & cold winters via clever futuristic architectural designs at UNESCO heritage sites. See how socialist housing became a class pride, & how despite architectural uniformity, residents carved their own unique identities. Absorb the local flavors in delicious foods with fermented drinks
