You can visit the State Museum and the grey stone former Viceregal Lodge that was inspired by the renaissance in Elizabethan England. A cultural programme is on for the evening. Dinner and the night are in Shimla. The day's destination is Chandigarh. But first, along a narrow highway that unravels some of the Himalayas' fabled beauty, we take you to Chail - and to the Maharaja of Patiala's summer palace.
Lunch is served here.
Along the road, you stop over at the Kufri Resort and the Shilon Resort. For tea, you stop at Barog's hotel Pinewood and for dinner and the night, you are in Chandigarh. Before breakfast, you may whet your appetite with golf or tennis and then tour the city. Created by the renowned modernist architect 'Le Corbusier' Chandigarh was a grand, well planned vision for independent India. The city was built mainly in the 50s and 60s.
