Where the Garden of Silence is
The Garden of Silence sits at the regulator end of Sukhna Lake, on the lower end of the bandh. Chandigarh Tourism gives its address as “Backside of Sukhna Lake, Sector 1, Chandigarh (U.T.)” and also “Lake Walking Way Bhagwanpura, Chandigarh 160101.”
Chandigarh Tourism calls it “Garden Of Silence, Sukhna Lake.” The garden is about 5 km from a hotel in Panchkula.
What visitors will find there
The Garden of Silence was built for meditation and offers silent contemplation away from the crowd of the lake promenade. At its centre, a seated Buddha is surrounded by concentric circular stairs.
The seated Buddha and the garden’s night beauty are among its attractions. The setting links the garden to Sukhna Lake while giving it a quieter purpose than the promenade. If you are planning to include another garden in your Chandigarh itinerary, the Japanese Garden Chandigarh guide covers that separate site.
How do you get to the Garden of Silence?
From Hotel Pallavi West, the Garden of Silence is about 23 minutes away by car. Head to Sukhna Lake’s regulator end in Sector 1; you can pair the garden visit with time by the lake promenade.
For a wider city visit, you can pair the garden with other Chandigarh stops. The one-day Chandigarh itinerary from Panchkula is relevant if you are arranging several places into a single day.
Access and visit planning
Chandigarh Tourism gives daily opening hours of 05:00 AM to 09:00 PM and no applicable entry fee. Hours and access details can change, so check the official site before you go.
The garden’s purpose is quiet contemplation, making it a distinct stop beside the lake rather than another stretch of promenade. Its night beauty is also an attraction.
