About Boating in Sukhna Lake in Chandigarh

Sukhna Lake is a serene water-body in the foothills of the majestic Shivalik range in Chandigarh.

Presenting a quiet union with nature, the lake is wrapped by greenery and forms a divine spot that attracts tourists. It is so charming that a Chandigarh trip is considered incomplete without enjoying boating in Sukhna Lake, which is a relaxing experience. Now, Shikaras are added to the lake’s boat fleet, making visitors savor an experience of floating on the expanses of this placid lake just like Dal Lake in Kashmir.

When it comes to history of Sukhna Lake, it says that this reservoir was created in 1958 by damming the Sukhna Choe, a seasonal stream gushing from the Shivaliks. It has also been declared as a reserved national wetland by the Government of India. In addition, the lake is a sanctified sanctuary to exotic birds. Tourists can witness several migratory birds at Sukhna Lake such as Storks, Cranes and Siberian Ducks in winters. Sukhna Lake in Chandigarh is rain-fed and presents a soothing and beautiful area, perfect for picnics. The scenic beauty of the lake serves as a true delight for the photographers and artists who love to capture the mesmerizing view.

Once the venue for the Asian Rowing Championships and credited for being the longest channel for rowing and yachting events in Asia, Sukhna Lake is an unparalleled spot to delight in boating in Chandigarh. Nothing is more peaceful than sitting back in a boat and float across the vast and calm expanses of the lake.  A visual treat of the luxuriant surroundings with a clear sky above, adds to the soothing experience. Apart from boating, tourists can enjoy various water activities such as yachting, water surfing, and water-skiing. Those excited to visit Sukhna Lake, should carry a Sukhna Lake Chandigarh map for a hassle-free visit and a great time with their loved one.

Zamindar's 8 days trip to Chandigarh

It was a wonderful experience touring with one of Travel Triangle's associated Tour Operator "Wild Lotus". the services were great. Special thanks to the Tour Manager Rakesh Gilly for being so cooperative. He has been always there for any assistance. The Hotels were as commited just had to compromise a bit with food at some hotels. Hotels provided at Shimla & Dharamshala were the best anyone can get at this price. Hotels at Manali, Dalhousie & Amritsar were also fair enough if compared to the price they charged. Even the car which was provided for local transport was new & in good condition as promised by Rakesh Gilly. The driver was very humble, professional & deciplined. The itenerary was very well planned by Rakesh Gilly & covered almost every tourist spot. In all it was a great experience & from now Wild Lotus will be my preferred tour operator when it comes to touring North India. Thanks again Rakesh Gilly.

Nikhilramesh's 4 days trip to Chandigarh

Overall trip was good. They followed whatever mentioned in the package. Only thing is we felt that the driver was not properly briefed. For the first day we reached Chandigarh very late hence we had to take dinner on the way other than from the booked hotel. This expense has been agreed and allowed to deduct. Appreciate for that. The hotel at Chandigarh was fine. But hotel at Amritsar was not that much standard one. Plus the dining area was not good place. Food was very good in both places. Car driver is very good. driving was perfect. But there was no space at all in this Innova to keep the luggage. we struggled to accommodate and had to keep in the seats. We all came from different places hence all were having luggage. Overall it is very good.
