Twenty landscaped acres of sculptures, murals, spice gardens and cafés near Saket — an artful leisure garden made to delight every sense.
The Garden of Five Senses is one of South Delhi's most enjoyable leisure spaces — a 20-acre landscaped garden in Said-ul-Ajaib, near Saket, designed not as a botanical collection but as an artful public space meant to stimulate all five senses. Opened in 2003 by Delhi Tourism and laid out over a rocky, undulating site by architect Pradeep Sachdeva, it blends flowering terraces, sculpture, murals, water features and food into a relaxed, creative garden that is equally popular with families, friends, photographers and couples.

there is a small entry ticket, with a modest extra charge for a still camera, and the garden is open daily, closing a little later in summer than in winter. It is at its prettiest in the late afternoon and early evening, when the light softens and the sculptures glow; weekday visits are calmest. Allow one to two hours to stroll the zones, longer if you plan to eat or catch a performance; the paths are largely gentle but include some steps across the sloping site.
