Review & FAQ:

Nek Chand Saini (The Rock Garden of Chandigarh) is a truly unique attraction located in Chandigarh, about three hours by train from New Delhi. Basically, Nek Chand Saini is a sculpture garden and was the (illegal) life’s work of one man for over 30 years. Nek Chand was a government worker with an eye for art; he began by collecting stones and later many other kinds of discarded materials to construct his magical garden of statues, pathways, corridors, and pavilions, each of which will delight visitors with its ingenuity and sense of fun. When Nek Chand finally showed his hidden garden to his superiors he was granted a team of helpers to extend the garden to cover an area of over 30 acres.
