and pine forests, the place grows on you. Nothing beats its clean meandering
roads and well-maintained lake complex. Only about 250 km from the hustle
bustle of Delhi, it is the perfect weekend getaway to have a great time amidst
nature. Unexplored and unspoiled, Lansdowne makes you discover little things in

life. Enjoy boating in the serene Lake Bulla complex which is designed in the
theme of Rishikesh. A visit to this little hill station would surely revitalize
your spirit.
Chandigarh- City of gardens
One of the best planned city in India, Chandigarh is a blend
of good architecture, clean wide roads, well- laid gardens and shopping places.
It is a rare combination of modernization and nature's preservation. Located
near the foothills of Shivalik ranges in Himalayas, Chandigarh is also famous
as 'City beautiful'. First planned city of India, it was designed by French
architect Le Corbusier. On your trip to this lovely city, explore the pretty
gardens including the Rock Garden, Pinjore Garden and Rose Garden. Visit the

mighty impressed with this beautiful city.
Nainital- A Gem in Himalayas

which remains same throughout the year. Situated on

for Britishers during colonial times. With its winding streets and ancient
buildings, the place has not yet lost its age-old charm. A boat ride on the famous lake Naini
in the evening is a great way to enjoy the breathtaking views of Nainital.

spread over an area of about 500 sq km, Corbett national park is the first
