Re: The Official Chandigarh Offline Meet(G2G) Thread

Hey guys, even though im working in Mysore, i'm from Chandigarh. There are many less-budget hotels, in the sec 35 market, sec 26 market ( madhya marg ). Also, if you are on a bike tour, the bus stands at sec 17,43 would be a good place to find/enquire about a dormitory or really budget hotels. From the top of my mind, there is a very small hotel in sec 27 market, just adjacent to sec 28/27 traffic lights. I'm sorry but i cannot pin point any hotel in particular, since i never had the need for one.

If you wanna go bit higher, then sec 22 (just opp sec 17 bus stand) has a hotel Sunbeam (thats the name i guess) which is quite a popular one. Honestly, if i were you, i would first head to sec 35 market ( as i have spotted many hotels there ), and you have many eating joints and a good market there.

Hope it helps.

PS: really sad to see the kind of response (none actually) coming from Chandigarh where actually you have the best roads, and still better traffic sense than most cities, so expected a better biking culture there.

^^ Thanks for the leads there varun.

Cross-posting from the Leh 2014 thread: I have a brand new Spartan Helios (will use it for the first time in the ride). People are advising me against wearing a mesh jacket to leh for obvious reasons. Seems like even if I do multiple layers beneath the jacket and a raincoat on top of that, won't be enough to fight the cold(?) What I am looking is if someone (from Delhi) not riding to Leh woul want to exchange my Helios with a Textile(? or leather) jacket for the duration of the trip? I would return the same when I come back to Delhi. Or is there anyone from whom I can rent a jacket. I don't want to spend a bomb on a jacket I won't be using much. A mesh generally suffices in a tropical nation such as ours.

Thanks for your replies.
I have to come to chd for 2 days for some office work, and I would be coming by bike. Would look out hotels in sector 35 and sector 27, thanks.
Also, I have heard there is a very good crowd in sector 35 market in terms of girls. So, I would surely look out there.

I really can't give you a professional opinion persae, as i'm myself gonna buy the helios in the upcoming weeks, and i'm planning a trip to Ladkah in Mid July, but what i understand is that with Mesh jackets, you will get a thermal layer also. Along with lots of layering ( thats how i was planning to tackle the cold ), i hoped it would suffice, but i'm sure folks who have already visited the place might paint a better picture.
So i have the exact same doubt as you

PS: i was hoping July would'nt be THAT cold.

Thanks for your replies.......

If you are looking for crowd, the moment you enter Chandigarh you will feel the energy of the youth there Punjabi Passion mixed with Haryana's Hardcoreness drives the youth there.
If you really wanna enjoy the exclusive crowd, Elante is a mall that recently opened up and has stolen the show for chandigarh. Head there during 7pm and feast your eyes on...well whatever you enjoy
