Geography & terrain

Chandigarh-side spreads into the park fringe of the planned city's territory — the sectors of Mohali's green, the Sukhna water's far edges and the terrace gardens on the city's boundary.

History & culture

The city's planned open lands — the leisure valley, the terraced gardens and the lakeside parks — were part of Le Corbusier's green network from the 1950s; the fringe's parks have since become the weekend grounds of the tricity, holding the city's outdoor life beyond the monuments.
