But just a short drive from the city centre lies a green escape that surprises many visitors – the Sajjangarh Biological Park. Nestled at the base of the famous Monsoon Palace, this park offers a delightful mix of wildlife, nature, and learning.
Opened in 2015, Sajjangarh Biological Park covers nearly 36 hectares and was developed to protect wildlife while educating visitors about Rajasthan’s rich biodiversity. It’s not just a zoo – it’s a modern conservation space where animals live in thoughtfully designed enclosures that mirror their natural habitats.
From the majestic Bengal tiger and Asiatic lion to playful sloth bears, hyenas, leopards, crocodiles, and rare bird species – the park is home to a fascinating range of creatures. Birdwatchers especially enjoy spotting colourful peacocks, parrots, and migratory birds during winter.
