Rose Garden Chandigarh

Getting around: In Sector 16, central Chandigarh, easily reached by auto-rickshaw or taxi from anywhere in the city.
Hours: Open daily, roughly 6am to 8pm.

Zakir Hussain Rose Garden is Asia's largest rose garden, home to over a thousand varieties of roses spread across roughly 30 acres, along with other flowering plants and medicinal herbs. Peak bloom is in the cooler months, particularly February and March, when the annual Rose Festival is held.

Outside peak bloom season the garden still functions as a pleasant, spacious green space for walking, but the main appeal, seeing the roses in full flower, is seasonal, so timing matters if that's the specific draw.
