The Mughal Gardens at Pinjore lie 22 km from Chandigarh on the Ambala-Shimla highway. Pinjore is a village. It bears links to ancient Aryan times. Ruins of Bhima Devi temple and ancient baths can be seen here. Mughal Gardens were built by Fidai Khan in 17th century A.D. Rang Mahal, Shish Mahal and Jal Mahal - are palaces built in the Gardens.
Places of Interest : Stone craft, Plants nursery and local craft available. Terrain is hilly. River Ghaggar flows in the valley.

It is also known as Yadavindra Gardens. It covers a total area of 100 acres. It is believed that it is over here that Pandava brothers had rested during their exile. What I like about this garden is that it is different from The other Mughal Gardens which I visited in Kashmir.The seven terraces at Pinjore, instead of ascending, descend into the distance. It was built by Nawab Fadai Khan.

This main plan of the garden is similar to the Mughal Style where there is a Central water way and across it on the both sides are the flowers and trees. The garden is a delight for someone like me who just loves to capture the Excellent bright coloured flowers in his camera. It is quite a big garden and we did not have much time to waste . So after spending around an hour there , we proceeded towards Chandigarh.

After entering Chandigarh , the clock showed 5 PM. We did not know how we would cover rest of the places. Our next stop was The Rock Garden. Though , I had visited it before but it was few years back. We inquired from the locals about the timings Of the Garden and the lake. They adviced us that we should first visit Rock Garden as its closing time is 6pm. So we first went to the Rock Garden. We entered the Rock Garden at 5:15 pm.
