The Garden of five senses is a breadth taking and enamoring experience. It is not just a park - it is celebration of aesthetic expression and appreciation, a seamless dialogue between the creations of the man and nature that invites interaction and exploration. It is an ideal ground to realize the twin objectives of the need for a public leisure space as well as awakening of human sensitivity to the environment.





Visitors are encouraged to touch the rocks and displays, the fragrance of the flower for the nose, beds stimulates the olfactory senses, the landscaping appeals to the eyes - the sight, the ceramic bells and the water falls create a soothing sound - pleasing to the ear and the food courts serve a variety of cuisines - to please the tongue.

There is a ultimate mixture of attractions, festivals, art destinations, culture and amusement.
