Garden of Five Senses
True to the imagery suggested by its name, Garden of Five Senses is a beautiful, green carpeted landscape that heightens our senses to bond with nature.
Visitors are allowed to imbibe nature by touching the rocks and other displays. The best time to visit this garden is in the month of February when it is filled with pretty flowers and their fragrances. The sight of the waterfalls soothes our heart and the food court serving a variety of cuisines soothes our tongue.
