Nek Chand Saini was a government official who started building this in 1957 in his spare time and in secret, out of industrial waste, household waste and whatever else had been thrown away. It covers forty acres now, and it is made entirely of discards. That origin is the whole point, one man's unauthorised hobby that outgrew everything around it, and it is why the place feels nothing like a municipal park. It is also why it is busy, so come early and give it longer than you think you need.
