Things To See And Do In Ludhiana India

Located on the old banks of the Sutlej River, Ludhiana is the largest city in the state of Punjab. It is also home to several cultural attractions that draw in large flocks of tourists from all over India. From ancient religious sites to unusual museums, here are some of the top places to see in Ludhiana.

1. Punjab Agricultural University Museum

Museum

You’ll find the impressive Punjab Agricultural Museum on the outskirts of Ludhiana. The Punjab Agricultural University was founded in 1962, modeled after the Land Grant colleges of America. The museum of this university showcases a range of local arts, crafts and other fascinating ancient artifacts. It also hosts a famous ‘Kisan Mela,’ which displays various farming equipment and old bronze utensils.

2. Aman Chicken

Restaurant, Indian, Asian, Vegetarian

As the name suggests, this is where you’ll find the most succulent and delicious chicken dinner in town. The restaurant has a limited eating space and minimal décor, but your surroundings are forgotten when you take that first bite into their chicken. While they have a variety of chicken and mutton menu items to choose from, we’d personally recommend the rarha chicken, chilly chicken, tandoori chicken, and butter chicken with naan.

Price: Mid-range
Opening hours: 10 a.m. – 12 p.m.
Watch out for: the variety of chicken dishes

Rakh Bagh

Rakh Bagh is a famous park in Ludhiana, and has been a favorite relaxation spot among locals for quite a few generations. The main attraction of Rakh Bagh lies in its popular mini train, which chugs along through the park and is especially beloved by children. This scenic, adorable joyride is a must if you’re visiting the park, and the timing is just right, too: while the train has been dormant for quite some time as the park underwent renovations, it will be making a welcome return this year to delight locals and travelers alike.

Opening hours: 6 a.m. – 7 p.m.
