"Twin City" Ambala, Haryana Tour

Additionally, Ambala is well-known for the sizeable presence of the Indian Army and the Indian Air Force within the cantonment area that was initially established there in the year 1843. This is one of the reasons why Ambala is so well-known. Since the cantonment is home to one of the three striking corps that make up the Indian Army, it is of the highest importance to India's overall military strategy. Because Ambala City and Ambala Cantonment are situated in close proximity to one another, the city is sometimes referred to as "Twin City." The distance between the two parts of the city is eight km. There are instances when people would refer to Ambala Cantonment as Ambala Cantt. The Ambala District is claimed to have been founded by Amba Rajput sometime around the 14th century AD. There is also the belief that the name originates from Amba Wala, which translates to "the village of mangoes," as a result of the abundance of mango farms in the region that is immediately around the community. This explanation has been proposed.

In addition, the dishes of Makki Ki Roti and Sarson Ka Saag, as well as Buttermilk (lassi), milk, and curd, each play a key role in the cuisine. Ambala is home to a number of mouthwatering and well-known regional specialties, including but not limited to Mal Pua, Kheer, Churma, Peda, Laddu, and Thandai, to name just a few.
