The Rock Garden, Chandigarh

When our driver said that we will need more than an hour at the Rock Garden I thought he was exaggerating. How much can be constructed out of waste? Plenty, as I found to my surprise and delight.

There are very few places that make you feel that we should have had more than just a single pair of eyes. This rock garden easily makes it to that list. At every twist and turn and bend of the carefully laid-out narrow path that the visitors are supposed to follow, there are better and better sights to be seen. I cannot describe it in words so trusting the old saying that a picture is worth a thousand words, I will leave it to the photos to do the honors.




























Hats off to Nek Chand, the government official who built this out of waste like bottles, bangles, glasses, ceramic tiles and more!

Note to future visitors – please be courteous to your fellow visitors and make sure you step aside as soon as your photo session is done. Also please make sure that you leave plenty of room for others to pass as you try to cover as wide an area as possible in your photos. If you don’t, sooner or later people are going to lose patience and end up being forever a part of your family album.
