Hotels in Chandigarh and Amritsar quickly fi ll during weekends and festivals (book ahead). Attari is a train station near the border at Wagah, but transport from there to the border- closing ceremony is virtually nonexistent, so organise transport from Amritsar.
Founded and designed by Nawab Fidai Khan, who also designed Badshahi Mosque in Lahore (Pakistan), the gardens served as a retreat for the Mughal kings and their harems. Nowadays there s an annual heritage festival (see p200) here.
Kishan Haveli (%01887-232650; Academy Rd; r 600-1000; a) is set in spacious grounds and has an uncommercial, ramshackle charm. This mellow countryside retreat, around 1.5km from town, has comfortable rooms and a simple restaurant (meals 80).
