The National Zoological Park, also known as Chidiya Ghar, is a popular destination located near Delhi’s Old Fort. Inaugurated in 1959, it is home to a wide range of animals and birds, from majestic Asiatic lions and Royal Bengal tigers to exotic species of deer and vibrant peacocks. The zoo aims to recreate natural habitats for its residents while supporting conservation programs for endangered species like the Indian rhinoceros and red jungle fowl.
Explore the reptile house, spot hippos and chimpanzees, or marvel at the vibrant birdlife. Battery-operated carts are available for convenience, but walking through the lush pathways offers the best experience.
Tips for Visitors:
- Avoid feeding or teasing animals for their safety and yours.
- Refrain from bringing plastic or loud music.
- Visit early to enjoy a relaxed tour without crowds.
Perfect for a family outing, the zoo offers a blend of education and entertainment, fostering a deeper connection with wildlife.
