Sukhna Lake Park
Sukhna Lake Park in Chandigarh is a picturesque man-made lake created in 1958 by damming the Sukhna Choe, a seasonal stream coming down from the Shivalik Hills. Designed by the renowned architect Le Corbusier, the lake is surrounded by lush greenery and offers a serene escape from the city's hustle and bustle.
The park is a popular spot for various activities such as boating, birdwatching, picnicking, and jogging. There are pedal boats and rowing boats available for visitors to enjoy the tranquil waters. The park also features a Garden of Silence, a meditative space with a seated Buddha statue, providing a peaceful retreat for visitors.
Sukhna Lake is a sanctuary for many exotic migratory birds, including Siberian ducks, storks, and cranes, especially during the winter months. The lake has been declared a protected national wetland by the Government of India.
