Nehru Zoological Park


This is a 300 acre park filled with various species of birds and animals,the Nehru Zoological Park is a must for nature lovers.One of my friend told about this park. so we decided to go there to enjoy that nature.Basically i am a nature loving person.Atlast one fine day we went there.I think entry fee is 25 rs(i am not sure but less than 50 rs only).One important thing is Polythene covers and plastics bottles are strictly prohibited in the zoo.So if we have anything like that we have to show in front of them and they will give 1 bag and we have to pay deposit for plastic bottles.In return we have to give that plastic bottles then only they will give that deposit amt.I like this neatness.van is also available to visit inside the zoo.van cost is 200rs for 5 members.Because by walk is quiet impossible to visit all the animals and birds.A must visit for all provided we have to walk around for 6-7 hours to cover the entire zoo.so we booked one van .Really it was super to see all that natures.


The biggest Zoo in India, it has over 250 species of animals and birds, most of which are kept in good conditions as close to their natural habitats .This is the first zoo. The Nehru Zoological Park has animals and birds like the Indian Rhino, Lion, Tiger, Panther, Giraffe ,Elephant ,Peocock ,Bear,and Birds etc., a number of Deer. In fact, animals bred in the Zoo have been distributed to various Deer parks and also sanctuaries for restoring the depleted animals.



The popular ones among the different species are white peacocks.



Snake park is also there.we can see different types of snake.



The lion safari park, the first in Asia, natural history museum, pre-historical animals park, nocturnal birds, a children park with a train ride are other added attractions. The major attraction within the zoo, however, is the Lion Safari. A van barbed with wrought iron takes you to that spot.But we didn't visit that because no time.



It was a pleasant experience, but we were getting tired, because it took one full day to see all .later we took some rest in one of the gardens.we started there at 5.30 p.m because closing time is 5.30.But remember one thing Monday is holiday.Photography is allowed.




However this place is very nice for the entire family .
