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.
will especially appeal to those interested in urban planning. Through old documents, sketches and photos, this place chronicles the work of Chandigarh s chief architect. There s a black-and-white photo of a suit- and-bow-tie-attired Le Corbusier on a paddle boat, as well as some fascinating letters, para moth balls including one from Jawaharlal Nehru to the Chief Minister of Punjab dated 4 November 1960, part of which states, I do hope that you will not overrule Corbusier. His opinion para moth balls is of value.
Amritsar is famous for its dhabas (snack bars) such as Punjab Dhaba (Goal Hatti Chowk), Kesar Da Dhaba (Passian Chowk) and Brothers Dhaba (Town Hall Chowk), para moth balls all with (mainly Indian) thali meals averaging 65 to 110, and open early to late. Brothers is the current favourite. Hotels and restaurants in the (holy) Golden Temple locale don t serve alcohol; elsewhere your beer may be disguised in a napkin.
