Where It Is Located
Sohi Banquets is on the National Highway near Paras Downtown Square Mall, opposite K-Area Road, on the Sector 19 side of the Zirakpur-Panchkula corridor. The venue is commonly associated with both Zirakpur and Panchkula because it sits near the Punjab-Haryana boundary.
For invitations and cab bookings, use the full National Highway, Paras Downtown Square Mall and K-Area Road landmarks rather than only the city or PIN code.
Road and Public Transport Connectivity
The venue sits directly on the Zirakpur-Panchkula-Kalka corridor, making it convenient for Chandigarh, Panchkula, Zirakpur, Baltana and Shimla-Kalka side guests.
- NH 5 / Zirakpur-Panchkula-Kalka highway for Panchkula and Shimla-side traffic
- Zirakpur flyover and Chandigarh-Ambala Road for Chandigarh and Dera Bassi
- K-Area Road and Baltana approaches for nearby residential areas
- PR-7 / Airport Road for Aerocity, Mohali and airport-side guests
- Patiala Road for southern Zirakpur and Patiala-side travel
Traffic can build around the Zirakpur flyover, Paras Downtown Square, Baltana and Panchkula approaches. Keep an extra 20-30 minutes on busy wedding evenings.
Metro Connectivity
There is no operational metro in Chandigarh Tricity or Zirakpur as of August 2026. The proposed Tricity Metro remains under planning; parliamentary information stated that Chandigarh Administration had not submitted a Detailed Project Report to the Central Government at the cited stage.
For current events, cars, cabs, taxis, buses and auto-rickshaws are the practical options.
Railway Station and Airport Connectivity
Chandigarh Railway Station is the most practical major railhead. Current venue information describes Sohi Banquets as about a 15-minute drive away, while the Paras Downtown Square side is roughly 8-9 km by road.
Chandigarh International Airport is roughly 15-16 km away in current venue estimates. Traffic varies, so airport pickups should include a buffer.
