Nehru Zoological Park Reviews

We started our journey from Mumbai on 9th November 2019 to Hyderabad by Spicejet flight from Mumbai international airport. We took the 7.20 AM flight and reached Hyderabad around 8.30 AM. It was my Daughter's birthday on that day which we had planned to celebrate in Ramoji Studio. After reaching Hyderabad Airport we booked an Uber and headed to Nehru Zoological park. This is one of the biggest National park in the country and is really worth a visit. The park is really big and has variety of species including Giraffe, Rhino, Hippopotamus, White Tiger, Ostrich etc. It also has a Jungle Safari experience. Since we were carrying some luggage we were skeptical if they would allow us to to carry luggage or if there would be a place to keep our luggage, and we were happy to know that they have a luggage keeping facility at a charge of INR 30 per bag for a suitcase type luggage and lesser for smaller luggages. You are not allowed to carry any plastic items inside the park like water bottles or plastic food packets, hence remember to leave them in your bags. There is also a battery operated vehicle facility available for you to opt incase you do not want to walk much, but the battery operated vehicles drop you to the designated spots and you still have to walk a little but if you do not intend to spend a whole day in the park then it is better to avail the facility. The cost per person is INR 80 additional to the park ticket cost. After spending nearly 4 hours in the park we headed to a nearby restaurant called Balaji which is a pure vegetarian restaurant located at a 3 km distance from the park. We took an Autorickshaw to reach the place which charged us INR 50. Once we finished with our lunch we booked our ride to our Hotel Sitara which is located inside Ramoji Film Studio. We reached the hotel in an hour's time and finished our check-in formalities. We had pre-booked the hotel and it costed nearly around INR 9000 per night. This is a luxury hotel and there are other cheaper hotels also inside Ramoji Studio. One of them is Tara hotel situated right next to the Sitara Hotel. We spent our day relaxing in the hotel and in the evening we moved out to have look around. Since we visited closer to the Diwali days, the area was very well decorated and lit up with beautiful lights. There are some really good places to take pictures if you are a fan of taking pictures and selfies. We headed to a restaurant called Hollywood which is located inside Hotel Tara it is not very expensive and serves really tasty food. Post dinner we ended our day and retired on the cosy bed of our rooms.
And then we went to the Nehru zoological park. We roamed around for a bit and then, we went for a safari. Not quite the hype but yes, we were lucky to spot 2 lions right next to our vehicle. Again the sun killed us and we decided to return to the room. We then had lunch at the dharamshala itself and spent quality time with each other. It was then time for us to leave and thus, the trip had ended.
