Really Nice place to visit
It is a very nice heritage place with mostly clean and beautiful surroundings. There is lot more to see in the complex. The main ticketed area also houses a small museum which displays the artifacts found nearby.. these artifacts range over a millennia.. However there is lack of signs and guidance as I could not find my way to other part of the complex.. It's a big campus to spend time at

Unexpected grandeur
Haryana has historically been on the path taken by invaders and travellers alike. Thus, while the main and most dominant building in these premises are the tomb of the Sufi saint Sheikh Chelli and his wife, the mounds excavated in the compound have objects dating back thousands of years representing various ages of Indian history. One must make it a point to visit the museum in the compound to get an idea of the long history of the place. The tomb buildings are beautifully carved out of red sandstone with a grandeur equal to that of well known Mughal era buildings of Delhi and Agra. However, accessing the same may be difficult for people with walking problems due to the high height of the steps to the building. The premises are very clean and well maintained. Ticket charges are less if taken through cashless means.

Must visit place
It is well maintained heritage property. It has museum also inside the place, which is good to be visited. Cleanliness level is excellent, as they were promoting swach bharat abhiyan. The park is well maintained and is an classic example of beautiful landscapes. This place comes as a surprise for me, as I never thought Sheikh Chehli/chilli was actually a person and not a fiction. you can spend a quality time with your loved one and family.
