Mohali, is the western suburb of Chandigarh in the State of Punjab in Northern India. It is the eighteenth of district of Punjab. The Official name of the district and city is Shahabzada Ajit Singh Nagar. For most it could be considered an extension of Chandigarh. The City of Mohali came up because Chandigarh is a Union Territory and is shared with the neighboring state of Haryana. Therefore as Punjab looked into investing for itself, Mohali came as a natural extension of Chandigarh. Panchkula is a similar extension of Chandigarh into Haryana. Together, Chandigarh, Mohali and Panchkula form what is mostly referred to as the Chandigarh TriCity. To know more about this, visit Mohali Tricity.

The Solitaire and The Parkview are good choices in Chandigarh as well. The problem with Chandigarh TriCity areas is that because of urban planning constraints, it is home to compact hotels. Also, entertainment areas cannot just mushroom anywhere and limited commercial space means they are limited as well. This however ensures that one will never face over population; things are better managed and controlled. This is what makes the Chandigarh TriCity a beautiful place to live in. Organized and uncluttered Spaces, clean atmosphere, lots of greenery, and better managed infrastructure are a hallmark of the TriCity.
