First Date Ideas in Chandigarh: Places Locals Love
Chandigarh's wide green avenues, lakes and gardens make it one of the easiest cities in India for an unhurried date, and the hills are close by.
Sukhna Lake
An early morning or sunset walk around Sukhna Lake, maybe with a pedal boat ride.
Gardens
- The Rock Garden, built from recycled materials, full of surprises to talk about.
- The Zakir Hussain Rose Garden, at its best in spring.
- A walk through Leisure Valley.
Culture
The Government Museum and Art Gallery in Sector 10, or a guided tour of Le Corbusier's Capitol Complex, a UNESCO World Heritage site.
Food and shopping
Sector 17's plaza for a stroll, or one of the many cafés in the city's sectors.
Into the hills
For a later date, a drive to Morni Hills or Kasauli makes a lovely day out.
A safe first date
Meet somewhere busy, arrange your own travel both ways, and tell a friend where you'll be. A short video call beforehand is the easiest way to check someone is who they say they are.
