One of the most scenic places in The City Beautiful-Chandigarh, India.
This is the view of one of the oldest trees in the city.People come here to meditate and relax to endure the busy schedules of the life. Amazing place to hang out and an even better place to walk and run.
Me and my friends walk here each Sunday and enjoy the beautiful and serene view.
Hi @sulalitg ,
Thank you for sharing this nice photo with us.
I am curious what kind of tree is this and at what age?
It would be great if you share what else can be seen in your city.
Dear MashaPS,
I am glad that you like the picture & want to know more about it.
Firstly, I live in Chandigarh India. My city is 250KM north of New Delhi, well connected by Road, rail & Air.
On the North east is beautiful Shivalik range of mountains & Sukhna Lake (It is a man made lake)
Chandigarh is a small city (Just 121Sq KM) & a population of 1 Million. It has a low rising buildings.
My city is designed by french architect Le Corbusier & architecture is modern & the it is well planned & well maintained .
Every 300 meters or 400 meters there is a small or big garden, you can say it to be garden city. few of them are figured in international calender of gardens.
Chandigarh is also known across globe for ROCK GARDEN by Nek Chand, This garden is made of waste material.
Chandigarh enjoys 5 types of weather, summers are too hot, May to September are the hottest months, best time to enjoy the city is November to April.
Hills are very near to our city.
One of visitor has described our city as RESORT CITY.
The tree mentioned is Pipal tree. The speciality of this tree is that it emits oxygen 24 hours . The approx age of this tree is more than 100 years, I am witness to this tree for last 50 years & my child hood is spend around that place & we live very near to sukhna lake.
Best Regards
Sulalit Gupta
