A Traveler’s Guide to Exploring Mohali & Chandigarh in 2 Days

Planning a quick getaway to Chandigarh and Mohali? Whether you’re visiting for leisure, business, or a refreshing weekend break, these twin cities offer the perfect mix of modern comfort, greenery, culture, and delicious Punjabi food.

If you’re staying at FIRDAUS Homestay, you’re already in one of the most convenient and peaceful locations, close to all major attractions yet tucked away from the city rush. 

Here’s how you can make the most of two perfect days in Mohali & Chandigarh.

Day 1 – Discover Chandigarh’s Charm

Morning: Rock Garden & Sukhna Lake

Start your day early with a refreshing walk or boating session at Sukhna Lake, one of Chandigarh’s most iconic landmarks. Just a few minutes away, explore the world-famous Rock Garden — an artistic wonder created from recycled materials.

Tip: Carry your camera — both spots are perfect for serene sunrise shots and nature lovers.

Afternoon: Local Lunch & Shopping at Sector 17

After sightseeing, head to Sector 17 Plaza — Chandigarh’s shopping and food hub. Enjoy a Punjabi thali at Indian Coffee House or Pal Dhaba, and stroll through boutiques offering handicrafts, clothing, and souvenirs.

Tip: Try some local street food like chhole bhature or amritsari kulcha for an authentic Punjabi taste.

Evening: Rose Garden & Night Drive

Visit Zakir Hussain Rose Garden, Asia’s largest, for a relaxed evening among thousands of blooming roses. Later, enjoy a scenic night drive on Jan Marg and Madhya Marg — Chandigarh’s beautifully lit and well-planned roads.

Tip: Return to FIRDAUS for a peaceful dinner — unwind in the garden area or lounge while enjoying a homemade meal prepared with local ingredients.

Day 2 – Explore the Vibrant Side of Mohali

Morning: Mohali Cricket Stadium & Gurudwara Amb Sahib

Start your day with a visit to the PCA Cricket Stadium, one of India’s top sporting venues. Then head to Gurudwara Sri Amb Sahib, a serene place that reflects the deep spiritual roots of Punjab.

Tip: After visiting, enjoy breakfast at a local favorite café near Phase 7 or 10 — you’ll find great parathas and lassi spots all around.

Afternoon: Lunch & Local Life

Explore Mohali’s bustling markets or catch up on shopping at VR Punjab Mall. Have lunch at one of the nearby restaurants or return to FIRDAUS Homestay for a relaxing home-cooked Punjabi meal.

Tip: If you’re interested in local crafts, ask your hosts for nearby stores that sell handmade souvenirs and traditional art pieces.

Evening: Sunset & Relaxation at FIRDAUS

End your trip on a relaxing note. Spend your final evening enjoying tea in FIRDAUS’s tranquil surroundings — or take a short drive to Thunder Zone Amusement Park or North Country Mall for some light entertainment.
