Wanderlust Tales : Bannerghatta biological park, Bannerghatta - Bangalore
At a distance of 15km from Kanakpura Road, this is one of the must visit place for all age genres. :)
Not kidding this place is for all - like all parents who don't want their kids to grow up, my parents also attempted a trip to the zoo with me which sure was a reminiscence to my childhood days.
It definitely was also a learning experience too - as we all learnt something new about animals, birds and the environment. :)
Bannerghatta biological park is one of the few places in the world where the wild having been preserved in such proximity to the city life. It is also among the famous tourist places in Bangalore.
To save all the trouble - they do have ample parking space a little farther from the park.
Before you enter, you would see a lot of stalls where locals sell varied items - looked quite very vibrant and amusing to me.
As you near the entrance, you will see the placards stating that the entry fee for adults and children is about Rs.80/- each. There are also options for safari in the buses or jeeps.
It is appreciable that zoo has been kept really clean and there is a great attempt at creating the natural habitat of the animals - which actually should be of prime concern in any zoo. :)
They have various animals ranging from the birds, tortoise, snakes,tiger, elephants, peacock,ostrich, deer, rhinoceros etc - quite educating actually.
It was nice to even see a a vetenary hospital in the campus as well.
The lake in the premises is an added attraction which offers boating for recreational activities. As expected it is beautifully decorated with a plethora of trees. The benches nearby offer a nice way to sit,relax and enjoy the scenery and breathe some fresh oxygen. It is totally a moment which is worth capturing - serene!
Along with getting educated and amused by the animals, there is also a play area for the kids.
Inside the premises of the zoo they have setup shops for buying quick snacks, water and juices.
The forest staff staying within the premises are very helpful,cheerful and guided us well. :)
During my visit I did notice the behaviour of few of the passerby and it doomed on to me that how important it is, rather it our responsibility that we as humans allow these animals to be on their own and at peace.
We should not encourage in any kind of activity involving teasing the animals or in indulging in anything which would disturb them.
Few pictures from the visit:
Cheers to life!!
