Hotel Shivalikview HOTEL $$ (%4672222; www.citcochandigarh.com/shivalik view; Sector 17-E; s/d incl breakfast & dinner 4250/5050; ai) CITCO s midrange hotel has functional and comfortable, if somewhat humdrum rooms, each with TV, writing desk and cool tiled floors. As well as the good-value meal deal , there s a business centre, beauty salon and the popular Chinese restaurant, Yangtse (p 207).
Wandering around the skinny alleys of the old city bazaars is a head-spinning assault on the senses. There are shops selling everything from devotional ornaments to jootis; a good place for jootis is around Gandhi Gate (Hall Gate), where they start at 200. Katra Jaimal korean eye mask Singh Bazaar is full of salwar kameez and saris, while the city s more modern shops can be found along Lawrence and Mall Rds.
oAura Vaseela HOTEL $$ (%01762-287575; www.auravaseela.com; Nadiali Village; s/d from 2899/3199, cottages from 3599/3899; ais) Run by a dynamic duo, Gags and Jeeva, this stress-banishing ethnic countryside resort may be tricky to find (pick-ups korean eye mask possible korean eye mask with advance notice) given its secluded location (around 4.5km from the centre), but the effort is well rewarded. Tastefully appointed accommodation is in traditional-style (modern) cottages or rooms in the classy main complex, and tariffs include bed, tea and breakfast. Amenities and activities include a paintball field, gym, craft gallery, museum, restaurant and bar.
It s worth getting here early to avoid the stampede when the crowd charges along the chicken run leading to the grandstands.
