Capitol Complex Tourist Center

I love this place!nIt's worth to visit as per me.nWhen you are lucky enough they will provide you with a tour guide. No fees when you enter the complex.nThere is a place which uses for a meeting of the government. In that place, cameras and phones are not allowed.

The architecture is great, a must visit place during the trip to Chandigarh. However,there is a strict security system and the tour follows the timings that are 9 am 12 pm and 3pm, in which you'll get to see the three buildings of Corbusier, and the sculptures.

It is a nice place to chill with friends and family with a peaceful aura in the air.

Chandigarh is a unique amalgamation of contemporary urban design, new-age architecture, and old-world charm, culture, and charisma. It is a Union Territory governed directly by the Central Government, and yet is the administrative capital of both Punjab and Haryana while not being part of either. This makes its position in the Indian geographical and political context as well as in urban planning, unprecedented.nnCommissioned post-Independence and designed by Swiss-French architect Le Corbusier, Chandigarh is recognized worldwide as an outstanding example in urban design and planning, and architecture. You get to see this first hand when you enter the city. Nowhere is this more richly exhibited than the 100-acre Chandigarh Capitol Complex, a government compound which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It comprises three buildings, three monuments and a lake, including the Palace of Assembly or Legislative Assembly, Secretariat, High Court, Open Hand Monument, Geometric Hill, and Tower of Shadows. On the other end of the complex, a short drive away is the famed Rock Garden put together by the immortal Nek Chand. It is a great lesson in urban conservation and waste management, and an absolute sight to behold. Then there is the man-made reservoir, the Sukhna Lake. The lake is enclosed by a golf course on the south and the famous Rose Garden on its western end. It is home to a number of fishes, and migratory birds like cranes and Siberian ducks. Declared a reserved national wetland by the Government of India, the lake is a regular for joggers and nature lovers from dawn till dusk. The scenic beauty of the lake serves as a true delight for the photographers and artists who love to capture the mesmerizing view.nnThe sectors, the detailed layouts, the architecture, the captivating natural habitat, Chandigarh is a must for any avid traveler anywhere in the country or abroad.

The feel of the scale along with the super active functions happening there. It is just amazing there to blend in quietly along with the tour that covers almost the whole campus.
