About the trip
Chandigarh is the planned capital shared by Punjab and Haryana, known for wide green avenues, Le Corbusier's architecture and a relaxed pace. People travel here for work, the high court, hospitals and as a starting point for the Himachal hills. The drive from Amritsar crosses the heart of Punjab on the busy but well-kept NH 44 via Jalandhar and Ludhiana.

On the road
Take NH 44 via Jalandhar and Phagwara, then cut across to Chandigarh near Kharar. Dhabas around Jalandhar make a good breakfast halt; leave early to avoid Ludhiana traffic.
