India GOChandigarh for remote workers
Chandigarh is a calm, compact city for a working stay. Our list has no coworking spaces, but it marks three cafes as laptop-friendly: Beige Cafe in Sector 7-C, Turger Burger in Sector 10-C and DoubleShot Coffee Roasters in Mohali. Sectors 17 and 22 are the easiest base, and October to March the most comfortable season.
Cafes to work from
The three places in the list above that we mark as laptop-friendly.
Beige Cafe, Sector 7-C
A calm specialty-coffee room with its own bakery, sourdough and croissants baked in small daily batches, and a brunch menu. The default in the sector for laptop mornings.
Turger Burger, Sector 10-C
A forest-themed burger and bubble-tea cafe opposite the Art Gallery, air-conditioned and with wifi; good specialty coffee. Best in winter: the water features bring mosquitoes in summer.
DoubleShot Coffee Roasters, Mohali
A roaster in Sector 78 of Mohali that roasts and brews in-house; small and tidy, better for a short work session than a full day.
Where to base yourself
For a longer stay, Sectors 17 and 22 are the most practical base: the main hotel area, with the plaza, markets and cafes within walking distance. The cafe strip of Sectors 7 to 10 is close by. Each sector was designed to be walked end to end, with its own market, but between sectors you will need a car, so it pays to live near where you work. More: where to stay in Chandigarh.
Practical points
What to know before settling in for a few weeks.
- Getting around — Uber, Ola and Rapido are the default. CTU buses (approximately ₹20–50) run from about 06:00 to 22:00, and after that there is no public transport, so plan late evenings around a cab. The city has separated cycle tracks and a Smart Bike sharing scheme. Getting around
- Language — Hindi and Punjabi are spoken; English is enough in tourist places.
- Season — October to March is comfortable. In May and June the average daily maximum is 38–39 °C, and July and August are the wettest months, with about 270 mm of rain each. December and January bring fog. Weather
- SIM and visa — A local SIM or eSIM makes the ride apps and payments easier: see SIM and eSIM in India. Visa rules: visa for India.
- A break from the desk — Sukhna Lake has about 5 km of level walking and cycling paths, and Leisure Valley runs about 8 km of parkland through the city. Parks in Chandigarh
