will especially appeal to those interested in urban planning. Through old documents, sketches and photos, this place chronicles the work of Chandigarh plugs by country 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, 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 is of value.
Buses go to Amritsar ( 65, 2 hours), plugs by country Jammu ( 70, 2 hours), Chamba ( 80, 3 hours), Dalhousie ( 65, 2 hours), Dharamsala ( 65, 2 hours), Manali ( 300, 10 hours), Chandigarh ( 150, six hours) plugs by country and Delhi ( 320, 11 hours).
Hotel Sunbeam HOTEL $$ (%2708100; plugs by country www.hotelsunbeam.com; Sector 22-B; s/d from 2295/2695; ai) Sunbeam s rooms and service adequately shine, despite being a little dowdily decorated. They re reasonably furnished plugs by country and have satellite TV, including the news channels BBC and CNN. The 24hour coffee plugs by country shop, the Pillars, has a restaurant atmosphere, while the restaurant-bar, the Ambassador (mains 175 to 495), is dimly lit for surreptitious quaffi ng of cocktails.
Natural History Museum MUSEUM (%2740261; Sector 10-C; admission 10; h10am4.30pm Tue-Sun) Next door is the National History Museum, less interesting for its fossilised dinosaur skulls than its Cro Magnon man using an electric torch to illuminate his cave art!
