Ambala
Ambala (Hindi: Ambālā, pronounced [əmbalaː]) is a city and municipal corporation in Ambala district in the state of Haryana, India, located on the border of the Indian states Punjab and Haryana and is in proximity to both states' capital, Chandigarh.
Politically, Ambala has two sub-areas: Ambala Cantonment (also known as Ambala Cantt) and Ambala City, which are eight kilometers apart. They are also known as "Twin Cities." Ambala has a large Indian Army and Indian Air Force presence within its cantonment area. It is located 200 km (124 mi) to the north of New Delhi, India's capital, and has been identified as a counter-magnet city for the National Capital Region to develop as an alternative centre of growth to Delhi.
Ambala separates the Ganges river network from the Indus river network and is surrounded by two rivers – Ghaggar and Tangri – to the north and south. Due to its geographical location, the Ambala district plays an important role in local tourism, located just 47 km (29 mi) south of Chandigarh, 50 km (31 mi) north of Kurukshetra, 148 km (92 mi) southwest of Shimla, 198 km (123 mi) north of New Delhi and 260 km (160 mi) southeast of Amritsar.
