Ranchi Rock Garden

Getting around: Near Kanke Dam in Ranchi, reachable by auto-rickshaw or taxi.
Hours: Open daily, roughly 9am to 6pm.

Ranchi Rock Garden is a landscaped garden built around rocky terrain overlooking Kanke Dam, featuring sculptures, decorative pathways, and a boating option on the adjacent reservoir. It's inspired loosely by similar rock garden concepts found elsewhere in India, on a smaller and more modest scale.

It's a pleasant, low-key stop combining some garden sightseeing with a scenic reservoir view and optional boating, suited to a relaxed couple of hours in Ranchi.
