    Sukhna Lake in Chandigarh is a serene escape from the city hustle! My friends and I enjoyed a peaceful evening by the lakeside, taking a boat ride. The picturesque views and the gentle breeze make it a perfect spot for relaxation. Highly recommended for those seeking tranquility in the heart of the city.

    Peaceful place with awesome view
    View is awesome but be prepare to climb the stairs which is approx 50. After that you see the nice place but there is no restaurant you will see around the hawkers. If you want to do boating then it's right place for you. From the shor shraba right place to visit and sit peacefully.

    Chandigarh's Gem: A Lakeside Retreat
    A scenic view to sit around for hours and relax but not with the kids. There are sitting space, benches where you can sit and long walk sides of lake. Also if you are like boating then there are boats available in evening around 5 i think. While there aren't any restaurants nearby, you'll find hawkers offering snacks and drinks people’s come here for Jogging Running, Jogging and exercising as well in the Evening and Morning. view of lake at night time is mesmerizing. And at the end of Sukhna Lake, there is Garden of Silence features a seated Buddha Excellent place in weekdays, but not on weekends when one may witness a decent rush.

    A pleasant enough walk
    A pleasant enough walk along the side of the lake, where there are also some modern-art installations and well maintained gardens, with some nice views. There are also paddle boats and boat cruises round the lake. As nice as it is for a walk, it is not exceptional.

This place is great for spending some quality time with the friends and family. The place is so lively and crowded that you will never be bored here but yes visit in evening time in summer and afternoon in winter for the best enjoyment boat trips are not available every time they are available in evening only, there is no ticket as such to visit this lake food, cold drinks, coconut water everything is available there very well maintained and have lots of space to sit and roam. Awesome experience

We spent a long afternoon by Sukhna lake talking to holiday makers from all corners of India. It is an important place for families to relax together, enjoy taking a boat on the lake, looking at the views and eating at the food court. A great experience.

Visiting crowded places during COVID was not a good idea, therefore, visited Sukhna Lake, spent nearly an hour walking by. Sat alone for breathing exercise. Not too much crowd in any case, thus a good place to relax even during these times.

I visited our in the early morning hours in February 2020 when the temperature is around 6 degree at night to 18 degree in day. I have never seen such a beautiful place. It has got the perfect place for morning walk, cycling and sight seeing. It's a well preserved area with only 1/3 of the perimeter constructed with tar road and scenic view in the morning hours are breath taking. The rest of the 2/3 perimeter is the jungle trail which is a path in the middle of the preserved jungle and you really love it if you can walk the entire area, beware that there is no exit once you enter that path and have to complete the entire 4km of jungle trail if you want to come out and there are no restrooms in that path. Otherwise all facilities of drinking water and restrooms are in the initial 2km stretch of the tar road and cycling path only. So in total it's more than 6km perimeter. Must visit with a good walking shoes and water.

We reached here early in the morning but reaching after 11 is better as more activities open up.
It's a very large lake with many option for boating. By many I mean there are more than 50 boats of different size and shape for everyone liking.
There is a play area for kids and some rides as well.
Food is obviously available so you won't go hungry.
Take a ride on the lake and enjoy the beauty of the place or take a nice romantic walk on the very long and clean waterfront.
All in all the trip will surely not disappoint.

A very nice place to visit and have a walk. There is a boating area where children of all ages and adults can spend some quality time as it is a massive lake. There is a concrete monument called Chandigarh the City of Peace and it fits this place to a T. Very peaceful and an interesting place to people watch as well.

The best time to visit the lake is in the evening just before sunset so its not that hot and one can enjoy boating or just sitting around the lake.

There a lot of games and amusement rides for kids.

The best attraction is the availability of electric cycles near the lake and lots of places in Chandigarh. You can rent an electric bicycle and see places around including rock garden etc. The best part is they have dedicated lanes for bicycles so even kids can drive it safely and enjoy the ride.

Enjoy the electric bicycle ride around the lake and golf course.

It gets a bit crowded and choatic. You can enjoy boat riding there but it depend on what type of ride and the price varies. Better to do Rock Garden and Sukhna Lake activity together since they are nearby.

An artificial lake that is created to give a relaxing spot to the people in Chandigarh and indeed it is quite nice strolling around along the lake side. very nice jogging path with a built-in audio system where relaxing music is broadcast so no need to bring your music when jogging. You can also take a pedal boat ride or a drink.
