Sukhna Lake (Chandigarh)

Sukhna Lake in Chandigarh, India is a reservoir at the foothills Shivalik hills of the Himalayas. This 3 km rainfed lake was created in 1958 by damming the Sukhna Choe, a seasonal stream coming down from the Shivalik Hills. Originally the seasonal flow entered the lake directly causing heavy siltation. To check the inflow of silt, 25.42 km of land was acquired in the catchment area and put under vegetation. In 1974, the Choe was diverted and made to bypass the lake completely, the lake being fed by three siltation pots, minimising the entry of silt into the lake itself.

Hi everyone. I will tell everything about Sukhna Lake. Types of boats are 2 seater, 4 seater, shikara (400 rupees for single ride they will provide a shikara driver) and

there is one more type that one is for pro. 2 seater for 30mints cost you 400 rupees 200 for the boat ride and 200 as a security if u dont come back within 30mints they

There is a small area for kids, where few rides are there. A lot of options to eat. Over all nice place.Washroom for men and women.dont eat basket
