Food is often one of the best ways to experience a city's culture. But what if the culinary surprises begin before you even leave the airport? A passenger recently spotted something unusual at Chandigarh airport that caught his attention.
Tejeshwar Singh spotted a golgappa cart right next to the baggage belt area, something he said he had never seen at any other airport. Delighted by the discovery, he described Chandigarh as a city of food lovers and lovingly dubbed it 'Chatoragarh'.
The vlogger said, “You'll realize just how much of a city for foodies Chandigarh is the moment you arrive at its airport. I've never seen a golgappa cart at any other airport, but I spotted one the second I landed in Chandigarh.”
