Major cities of Haryana: part-1

                                       PART-1

1)Ambala:

Ambala is a city and a municipal corporation in Ambala district in the state of Haryana, India, located on the border with the state of Punjab and in proximity of the state capital Chandigarh. Politically; Ambala has two sub-areas: Ambala Cantonment (Ambala Cantt) and Ambala City, approximately 3 kilometers apart, therefore it is also known as "Twin City". It has a large Indian Army and Indian Air Force presence within its cantonment area.

Ambala Cantt is an important railway junction of North India. Ambala is located roughly 30km from the state capital Chandigarh. Its geographical location is good, its at the punjab - haryana border. Plus Himachal Pradesh and Uttrakhand states are also in the close vicinity. Delhi is 200km from Ambala. It has very good connectivity both by road and by rail. NH1 goes through Ambala. Nearest airport is in Chandigarh.

Now coming to life in the city, it gives a lovely,warm small town vibes. Its a foodie's delight. Rather than posh hotels you will find plenty of awesome street food. Owing to its proximity to punjab, theres punjabi food flavours. More people will speak Punjabi here than rest of Haryana. Ambala city is also famous for clothes (especially Sarees), in the marriage season its a bustling market. people from neighbouring states come here for extensive range of sarees.

The weather is a typical northern city weather like that of Delhi. Foggy chilling winters and hot summers. Overall i would say Ambala is a true Indian city which oozes out love and warmth for everyone whos there to receive.
