Mysore Zoo DZ

We left our hotel by 3:45pm and in 15mins we reached the zoo.From the start we knew that this place is going to be amazing and not only our kid but we are also going to have so much enjoyment..It's a must go place where conservation, education, and wildlife intertwine to create a memorable experience for visitors of all ages.Time required - at least 2-3 hrsZoo timing - 8:30 AM to 5:30 PMReach early if you want to explore the zoo at ease and spend more time..We skipped the crocodile park as we wanted to hurry and were more interested in seeing other giant animals like elephants, giraffe and Cheetahs etc.*1hr 50mins was more than enough for us as we covered almost every important sight in this wonderful zoo.It was indeed an enchanting experience to see the diverse array of wildlife.*Wear comfortable footwear as you have to walk a lot .*Carry a water bottle.*To cover the zoo I would suggest walking through the park but if you need there is a facility of battery cars which can take you on the tour and you can cover the whole zoo early. But then you will only be able to see the animal just like on a Safari..So both ways you can enjoy it as per your convenience.*I recommend exploring this amazing place through walking and witness the beauty of exotic animals at ease.A MUST VISIT PLACE - DO NOT SKIP ITKEEP YOUR TIME SPECIALLY RESERVED FOR THIS PLACE

There are many zoos in South India. Few are large in size; and few have many animals. The most popular among all these is Sri Chamarajendra Zoological Gardens, popularly known as Mysore Zoo.Mysore Zoo first opened in the year 1892 and it spread over 157 acres. The zoo has around 1300 animals at present. It is nicely managed and maintained and one of the main tourist attractions in Mysore.Once you enter the zoo, it has a track to follow to cover all the animals and birds in the zoo. There are electric vehicles available for the people who face challenges to walk.It started first with birds section and then leopard, tiger lion. The cage of Leopard is having glass wall so you can see them nicely.

One of the most fascinating things about Mysore is , its Zoological Garden (or as we all call it, Mysore Zoo). Its spread over around 157 Acre and it is one of the oldest zoos in India with a variety of around 168 different species. It's officially called as 'Sri Chamarajendra Zoological Gardens'. As usual, people were pouring in in groups of big numbers. The ticket price is INR 100 per adult. You need to pay 100 bucks more if you are carrying your 'Still Camera' (which we thought so but got to know , there is no one actually checking!) So, I would suggest, you can get away with it. I am not going to bore you with the details of the zoo and you will find everything here.We spent around 3 hours in the zoo. There is something I found which could have been better is the way they have marked the pathway. It can be really confusing to know where exactly you will find a particular animal if you are coming for the first time. I have been there a couple of times, but still we missed the Tiger enclose (oh, how I missed that!) Luckily the weather was pleasant enough for us to roam without getting tired. I will attach some of the images here-

The palace is illuminated on Sundays and Public holidays between 7 p.m. to 7.30 p.m.Mysore zoo is one of the oldest Zoos in India. The original Mysore Zoo was created way back in 1892 on 10 acres of land by a German horticulturist named G.H. Krumbeigal. The official name of this Zoo is Sri Chamrajendra Zoological gardens and today it is spread over 157 acres of land. This Zoo houses more than 164 species of animals including lions, tigers, elephants, giraffes, white Rhinoceros, peacocks, bear, different species of birds etc.. The Zoo is a fun place for children.
