Най-добро време за посещение
Visit early morning (6-8 AM) or late afternoon (3-5 PM) when animals are most active and temperatures are cooler. Winter months from October to February offer the most comfortable walking conditions.
Съвети за бюджет
Entry costs just 50 INR for Indian adults and 200 INR for foreign visitors, with separate nominal fees for vehicle entry or camera. Bring your own water and snacks since on-site options are limited and overpriced.

Бързи факти: Spread across 445 hectares, this unusual park operates as both a zoo and a rescue center for animals that cannot survive in the wild. Over 200 species of birds have been spotted here, making it a surprise hotspot for birdwatchers right on the edge of Bhopal.
Акценти: Unlike a typical zoo, every animal here was rescued from circuses, poachers, or private owners and cannot be released back into the wild. You can watch a leopard sprawled on a rock just meters away, separated only by a moat, with no cages blocking your view.
Вътрешни съвети
- Rent a bicycle inside the park for 50 INR instead of driving, you'll move quietly and spot more wildlife.
- Bring binoculars for the bird watching tower near the lake, especially between November and February.
- Skip the battery-operated vehicles and walk the shaded loop road instead to catch animals at their most natural.
- Arrive right at 6 AM opening to enjoy the park nearly empty and hear the morning calls of peacocks and langurs.
