A most intriguing venue and quite unique. Our guide told us it was the work of one man starting in the ‘50’s making all the figures and decor from waste, broken plates, tiles, pottery even light switches! It is well done and surprisingly big. Watch out for wet stones slippery when wet. An Indian visitor fell in by the attractive waterfall!

I've had the pleasure of visiting the Rock Garden in Chandigarh numerous times with both family and friends, and each visit has been nothing short of amazing. It's not only a must-see for first-time visitors to the city but also a delightful spot for locals looking for a fun day out. What's cool about it is that everything there is made from old stuff like broken tiles, bottles, bangles, pots, and other junk. But the way they've used it all to make sculptures and pathways is mind-blowing! There are swings , camel rides, different types of fishes, canteen for snacks and funhouse mirrors that distort our reflections in amusing ways. They never fail to elicit laughter and create lasting memories

The Rock Garden, situated near Sukhna lake is a sculpture garden in Chandigarh, India. It is also known as Nek Chand Saini's Rock Garden of Nathupur after its founder Nek Chand Saini, a government official who started building the garden secretly in his spare time in 1957. It has spread over an area of 40 acres; consists of man-made interlinked waterfalls and many other sculptures with amazing detailing, moulding of the trees and roots etc. which is completely built from industrial, home waste, scraps and discarded items like bottles, glasses, bangles, tiles, ceramic pots, sinks, electrical waste, broken pipes, etc. and covered by narrow pathways into a maze like structure that opens up into huge open spaces. There is also a Dolls Museum inside Rock Garden, which comprises 200 rag dolls made from waste clothes by Nek Chand in the 1970s. There’s also a restaurant for refreshments, sovereign shop for tourists convenience and washrooms inside the garden. Overall a very unique place to visit and quite fun for all age groups, just at the entry fee of INR 30 for adults, and INR 10 for children. The garden is open from 9 AM to 7 pm every day, so do visit when the weather is quite pleasant; so you can easily spend 2-3 hours inside, and yes photography is allowed. Pretty unique and haven't seen something like this elsewhere. It's pretty huge so there's quite a bit of walking to do it you go in. Lots of waterfalls and status could be seen here. Nestled in the middle of a busy city the rock garden was a peaceful place to visit. It’s has ample parking space and entry fee of INR 30 for adults and 10/- for kids.

The Rock Garden in Chandigarh is an intriguing attraction with a unique charm. Created by Nek Chand, this garden is renowned for its unconventional use of recycled materials like broken ceramics, glass, and industrial waste, which have been transformed into elaborate sculptures and artistic installations. The garden's layout is quite expansive and features a maze-like structure with various pathways, waterfalls, and artistic displays. It’s impressive to see how creatively the materials have been repurposed to form different figures and scenes. However, while the Rock Garden is certainly a visual treat and offers a different kind of experience compared to traditional gardens, some visitors might find it a bit overwhelming or difficult to navigate due to its winding paths and numerous steps. The garden’s maintenance can be hit-or-miss, with some areas needing better upkeep. Overall, the Rock Garden is a worthwhile visit for those interested in art and innovative use of materials. It’s a one-of-a-kind attraction in Chandigarh and provides a glimpse into the creativity and vision of its creator. Just be prepared for a bit of a walk and some uneven terrain.
