Chandigarh has 2 satellite cities Panchkula and Mohali. While Mohali is in Punjab, Panchkula is in Haryana. The word panchkula is derived from combination of two words panch (local) + kul (Sanskrit: कुला) (canal) which mean the city of five canals.
The city hosts the Chandimandir Cantonment which is the headquarters of the Western Command of the Indian Army.
The full-fledged Panchkula district came into existence with effect from 15-8-1995. Now it has three tehsils Kalka, Panchkula and Raipur Rani.
The only Hill station in Haryana called Morni is also in this District. Trekking to the hill is a fun loving activity.
