Well, to begin with, I strongly believe that outdoor activities play a big role in keeping us healthy and stress-free. Here, I would like to talk about my experience of visiting Chandigarh and doing outdoor activities. About two months ago, during my winter break, I went to Chandigarh with my parents. Since we were tired from our monotonous routine, we wanted to explore a place that is clean, modern, and offers outdoor recreation. When we arrived, I must say the city looked fresh, busy with planned roads, great birds, and beautiful gardens. We explored some local attractions, but we decided to do an outdoor activity at Sukhna Lake, which was boating. At first, I thought it would be a piece of cake, but when I tried, I found it needed teamwork and effort. Once we got used to it, it was really enjoyable. The cold breeze, sparkling water, and the view of the Shivalik hills made me feel on cloud nine. The main reason for doing these activities was that I hardly get a chance to connect with nature in my city life. So I wanted to make the most of it. Looking back, I feel proud. Not only did I relax my mind, but I also created an unforgettable memory with my parents. Overall, I would say that the trip to Chandigarh was great. It was not just about fun; it was about charging my battery and realizing that spending time outdoors is priceless.
