This Park conserves rare, threatened and endangered species of fauna and facilitates the linkage between ex-situ and in-situ conservation, breeding and rearing of endangered faunal species with the objective of saving them from extinction, and creation of awareness and education in wildlife conservation through zoo-people interface. It also facilitates Animal Treatment Room and a separate Play Ground for Children.

This is wonderful zoo in a great cold and beautiful place. if maintained and renovated like that of international standard would definetily add more splendid experience for all the visitors from any corner of the world.

First and foremost, they don’t accept online payment. You need to pay with cash which is a bit of inconvenience. The zoo is pretty big and you have to explore by your feet only. Everything is neatly and clearly labelled, but the variety of animals are limited. Highlight of the zoo are Asiatic Lion and Common Leopard. Some variety of birds are also there. Surprisingly, during my visit, I didn’t find any staff members or any watch guards around the place, which I think is must in a place where wild animals are kept in captivity. You will find the staff members at the entrance only. There are toilets and drinking water all around the premises. You will also find the watch towers to gaze throughout the zoo. The area is also clean, but the irresponsible visitor always tend to throw their garbage in such areas. Overall, it’s a decent zoo, and it will take around a solid hour or two to explore the whole place. Probably, a best place to visit with family on weekends. The zoo remain closed on every Monday. There’s also a plenty of parking space.

The bears are kept in a large natural enclosure with plenty of trees and logs for them to climb on. They are quite active, and visitors can watch them play and interact with each other. One of the unique features of the zoo is the aviary, which houses a variety of bird species. Visitors can walk through the aviary and observe the birds flying around freely. The zookeepers also conduct regular bird shows, where visitors can witness the birds perform tricks and showcase their natural abilities. The reptile house is also worth a visit. It is home to a variety of snakes, lizards, and other reptiles. The enclosures are designed to mimic their natural habitats, and visitors can observe these fascinating creatures up close.

Lions, cheetahs, sambhar, black kites, Emu and wild cats are the highlights of this zoo. To spend Some time in the laps of nature with peace and away from the hustle bustle of the street this place is a better option for you.

Absolute blisss....you will not find lot of animals...the ones which are there are well maintained and healthy....they have been given space to roam around...we spotted bear,leopards,leopard cat,lion,lioness,sambar, peacock,himalyan griffin vulture,few pheasants,emu,African grey parrot and few more....it's a great hiking place for kids and scenic trials

Nice place for kids to visit. Free parking available. Tickets for adults only cost rs 50/-. Free entry for kids.

Gopalpur Zoo is situated in Gopalpur village, Kangra district, Himachal Pradesh in India, en route the Dharmshala – Palampur road. It is surrounded by Dhauladhar Range of the Himalayas. The zoo is adorned with maple trees, horse chestnut trees, chil and greenery. The major attractions of the zoo are: Asiatic lion, leopard, Himalayan black bear, sambar deer, barking deer, goral, wild pigs, Bhutan Grey Peacocks, Cheer Pheasant, Red Jungle Fowl peacocks, vultures, eagles, etc.

This nature park is very beautifully built. It is situated in Gopalpur, about 20kms from Dharamshala, and around 13kms from Palampur. Timings - Winters - 9AM to 5PM Summers - 9AM to 7PM There are numerous beautiful birds in the zoo like Grey Peacock Pheasant, Khalij Pheasant, Black Kite, Himalayan Griffon Vulture, Blue fronted Redstart, Red Junglefowl, Love Birds, Emu etc. Among the animals, the zoo has Asiatic Lion and Lioness (which presented a beautiful show in front of us), Leopard, Leopard Cat, Sambhar Deer, Wild Boar, Barking Deer, and of course numerous monkeys too. The zoo has around 11-13 leopards. The park has slides for children too. Special Note - CLOSED ON MONDAYS. So plan your trip accordingly.

It was amazing trip. Still not in favour for keeping living beings in captivity but this will definitely give better behavioural understanding about these beings.

Do not visit in hot summer. Too heated and animals are bit lazy as they find a place to hid themselves in shade. Visit on cool days . A great place for your kids.

Zoos play a significant role in educating and entertaining visitors while promoting conservation efforts. In this review, I will provide an overview of a zoo based on the context provided. The zoo I visited offers a captivating experience for both children and adults. With a wide variety of animal species from around the world, it provides an opportunity to learn about different ecosystems and the importance of wildlife conservation. One of the standout features of this zoo is the well-maintained enclosures that closely resemble the natural habitats of the animals. This allows visitors to observe the animals in a comfortable and safe environment while minimizing any potential stress to the animals. The zoo staff are knowledgeable and passionate about the animals in their care. They are readily available to answer questions and provide interesting facts about the various species. Additionally, the zoo offers informative and engaging animal shows and feeding sessions, enhancing the overall experience. The facilities at the zoo are clean and well-maintained, with ample seating areas and food options available. The layout of the zoo is well-designed, making it easy to navigate and ensuring that visitors can see all the exhibits without feeling rushed. While the zoo provides an enjoyable experience, it is important to note that some enclosures may be smaller than ideal for certain species. However, efforts are being made to improve and expand these habitats. Overall, this zoo offers an educational and entertaining experience for visitors of all ages. It serves as a valuable platform for raising awareness about wildlife conservation and the importance of protecting our planet's biodiversity.

Variety of wild animals especially of Himalayan origin. Children would love to see the zoo.

Very bad experience as zoo was closed today (sunday 16-08 2020)and it was showing open in website, pls provide exact information as people come from far away to visit the place.

Its not in wide area but good to explore in small area. Just located nearby palmpur. Parking in entrance with lovely gardens. Good for the children. Amazing scenery. I just Loved this place. Amazing place to explore wild life and beautiful animals. In fact you will enjoy the Relaxing and peaceful environment.

Overall good experience here ... . According to current information that there is not even single bear 🐻 present here .. so you miss the chance.. . But the excitement level goes down when you travel more and more, after travelling of 300-400 mtrs your excitement level is on peak because you see tigers there .... . Go and visit here with your friends, family and loved ones...

A nice place for a little excursion. The zoo is quite old and do not have that many animals but the place itself is very calm and views are quite good.

Zoo was situated at very nice place, calm and beautiful. Animals are less in the Zoo but it is neat and clean and can good time hear for picnic. Recommended.

Had great experience visiting the zoo. Area is quite big, it's just like watching animals in the natural habitat just fence away. There are unisex toilets at every corner of the zoo. Small kids park are there where kids can enjoy too. There are not many animals to see but cover major ones like the king of the jungle Asiatic Lion, Leopard, Sambhar, black bear, leopard cat, vulture, wild pig, different colorful birds etc. Major attraction : It has some watch towers that give panoramic view of the entire jungle and the dhauladhar peaks.

Good picinic support for people with famil and friends .A two hour must be spent in this place as it cover most animal

Small but ok ki d of place to spend 2 hrs kind of time specially for kids .. Lion, Leoperd, deer, etc are some animal to watch. Slides in children park shows typical sarkari attitude and all are neglected.. some has got iron rust and even cracks which can hurt kids ... Sarkari people please do your duty properly.

A Place in the lap of Himachal Pradesh. Gopalpur Zoo. You'll need 2 to 3 hours to spent here. Don't Litter Watch Zoo with the beauty of nature. Many animals are visible here....

This place is must visit if you are near Dharamshala or Palampur. Very clean zoo and maintained properly by the authorities. One can enjoy with their family or loved ones and catch the glimpse of beautiful animals like cheetah, peacock, turtle, bear and many more.

Nice place to visit with kids & family. Having less animals but location is amazing. Nicely maintained. View of Ice Capped Dhauladhar Range is amazing from the premises. Small kids park with rides is available for kids to enjoy after seeing the animals.

It is fantastic

You can see here many wild animal creatures that you have never seen before in your life.

I saw lion🦁 here first-time in my life here 👏👏👏👌👌👌🥰🥰🥰

Best part is it has most of the animals 🦁 lion, 🐯 tiger, 🐻 Bear, deer 🦌 etc. And monkeys are anyhow can be found anywhere these day's. There is a small playing area for kids where they did enjoy a lot. Birds were very beautiful.

Good place to take your young kids to. Best part about the place the animals are treated well with spacious and natural habitat unlike other zoos. Great work by HP wildlife department. Animals like lions and leopards add charm to the trip that too when you see them healthy and active .

It was a good visit and definitely if it's your first time - please make it a point to visit. You can take between 2 to 3 hours depending how into Animals you are and oh the feeding time is 04:30-04:45 PM for the animals, just incase anyone's fancy those... There is a huge no. of animals and birds. I'll list out a few as i recollect from our visit. 1. Himalayan Black Bears (On entry to the left) 2. Turtles (To the right) {Children's Park - Opp.} 3. Pheasants (All kinds just after the turtles) 4. Goral & Barking Deer 🦌 5. Asiatic Lion Enclosure 6. Leopards 7. Emu 8. Sambar Deer 9. Wild Boar

As always... For Animal Lovers... you can find.. Tiger... king Lion... Bear... and birds also.. a small and nice place to spent some hours with family, kids, partner etc.

Dhauladhar Nature Park is a gem nestled in the picturesque landscapes of Himachal Pradesh, and my recent visit there with my brother, Rugved, was an absolute delight. As we entered the park, we were immediately impressed by its neat and clean ambiance. The well-maintained surroundings added to the charm, making it a welcoming environment for visitors of all ages. One of the highlights of Dhauladhar Nature Park is the wide variety of animals it houses. From exotic birds to majestic deer and other local fauna, the park offers a unique opportunity to observe these creatures up close in their natural habitat. The park's efforts towards wildlife conservation and providing a safe haven for these animals are commendable. The park's walkway is one of the best features for visitors. The well-designed pathways wind through the lush greenery, offering a serene and immersive experience with nature. We thoroughly enjoyed our leisurely stroll, soaking in the natural beauty around us. The park also implements a stringent disinfection process for visitors' feet, ensuring a hygienic and safe experience. This attention to health and safety measures is praiseworthy and added to our peace of mind during the visit. The staff at Dhauladhar Nature Park deserves special mention for their politeness and helpfulness. They were readily available to answer questions and guide us through the park, enhancing our overall experience. In conclusion, Dhauladhar Nature Park is a must-visit destination for nature enthusiasts and animal lovers. Its cleanliness, diverse wildlife, well-planned walkways, and attentive staff make it an ideal place to reconnect with nature and enjoy a day of tranquility. Rugved and I left the park with hearts full of fond memories and a deep appreciation for the efforts made to maintain this natural sanctuary.

Gopalpur Zoo offers a delightful experience for animal enthusiasts and families alike. The well-maintained facilities provide a comfortable environment for a diverse range of species.

Magical place you found lot of animals good zoo for children and families

Oo teri Now Himalayan also started being found here great work

Not a big zoo but very peaceful and clean.

Its a good place for walking with the greenery all around.

Best place to peace yourself, but it can be managed much better. Quantity of wild animals is not enough. Pathetic condition is of Eagles here, staff don't care properly. 2 lions are recently added in the zoo.

Gopalpur Zoo is another mountainous zoo located in the district of Kangra in Himachal Pradesh and is a much-preferred travel destination for your kids. Giving you an authentic insight into the natural habitat of Himalayan animals, it’ll also serve you with a refreshing view and a breath-taking experience. It’s surrounded by the Dhauladhar range of Himalayas capped with snow which acts as another scenic beauty while you take a calm, leisurely walk in the park. The animals include the Himalayan black bear, Asiatic lion, red fox, leopards, musk deer and so on. The best time to visit this zoo are the months of autumn when flora and fauna are in their best condition.

Nice Place to visit

Zoo

Beautiful blue

Good

Very nice place , peace and calm into the wild .

Nice Place to hang out and see few animals

It is pretty well maintained amd cleanlimess of the place is commendable. One thing i appreciate most is they have their forest officer as well as a veterinary doctor. It has very big forest covered under it. Some parts of the zoo seemed like a sanctuary not a zoo. Would say it is a must visit place as it is situated in a place surrounded by beautiful mountains. One can enjoy its scenic beauty as well.

Ultimate

Good place with scenic beauty and animals such as lion, leopard, bears, etc.

At the same time sad to see the animals in the cage out there.

Good place for picnic....For children who loves biodiversity must visit this place, a lot of animals and can be seen here.... Also beautiful parks are here to enjoy your time.i have visited this place for 5 times 😊😊

It seems as if nobody cares abiut the zoo.

I had nice experience here You need atleast 2 hours to visit all the zoo as it's very big in size. You can see different animal species here. The list of main attraction is given below: Asiatic lion (I have seen here first time in reality) Leopard, Himalayan Griffon Vultures, (world's highest flying vultures, so big in size, I was so amazed to see them) Black Kite, different kinds of birds, Himalayan Black Bear, Antelopes, Tortoises, Wild Pigs, Wild Boars, Sambhar Deers, Barking Deers, Himalayan Goral etc. You have to go on foot. You even get chance to see some animals very closely. Moreover the fare is very less. If you're visiting Kangra you should visit the place.

Five out of five guys, there is limited variety of animals and birds , but zoo is properly maintained by the staff. U can only see those animals who can survive in cold weather.must visit once..

i found a bear there . very good environment to live . weather conditions awesome 😎

Could see maximum animals and also the location is very good

Need some renovation

It's small zoo but full exposure of Animals, you hear lion roar sound while seeing other animals.

Very attractive place it is the best place to visit ❤️😍

Closed on sunday🥺🥺

Small zoo

Nice

Nice place

It's good place to spend few hours. Although there are not many animals and birds but Old Vulture is of great attraction.

It is a good zoo. It has ceetha, emu, different birds, lion, sambar, deer, lioness, bear and other beautiful animals!!!

Nice zoo. Very neat and clean. Ticket charge 50 Rs per head@2021

It's bring me a lots of memories of my childhood. When i came with my school picnic and specially with my child friends. So amazing experience again still i feel the same anergy. Will visit again.. 🐯🐆🙏🙏😍😍

A hidden gem. Must visit. Small but very clean and well maintained. Lions are the main attraction.

What is the point of having a zoo..when it's closed on Sunday and all the public holidays. That are the only days when school going kids or working people can plan to visit. Decided to visit on Gurunanak jayanti after checking on Google that it's open. But were disappointed on reaching the place to find it closed on gazetted holidays. Please do something about it so that the locals can admire the beauty of it without having to take a day off .

Peaceful place 😊 enjoyed a lot

Ticket for adults is RS 50, it's too much.It should not be more than 20. Items of zoo are limited.But it's full of natural beauty.

Place is quite nice and peaceful but the whole idea of zoo is very cruel for me. It really hurts seeing animals locked in a small cage with no space to run to prey . The conditions of the animals is not great .

It's is a beautiful zoo, we went on weekend and there was very less crowd and that was a major plus. There are decent number of animals to see and well maintained.

This park has been Renamed as Saurav Vihar Park. Its basically developed in forest area in khad. It has got serene beauty amazing place to visit . Shooting of Sheershah movie also done here. It has following things 1. Fish aquarium 2. Playing area for kids 3. Boating 4. Cafe inside. Things were there right now not available 1. River crossing 2. Trampoline 3. Rock climbing 4. Zip line. Good place to visit. If you are couple then must visit n with family them also must visit.

One of the very few places having Asiatic lions and leopards. A must visit. Tickets are moderately priced at 50 rupees and parking is chargeable.

Parking available, Toilet and Drinking water available, swings and slides available, sitting and working space available. You can watch various birds and animals such as deers, Lions, Leopards. You can spend 1 to 1.5 hrs easily.

I am not expecting much but was surprised to find emu,leopard and black bear in the zoo.sharing pic for your reference .pls visit with kids and let them enjoy nature added with zoo.

Only 1 hours is enough to explore this zoo. Ticket price is 50 rs per person. Opening Time 9 to 5. Zoo is closed on Monday.

The zoo is awesome new lions are brought who are kept nicely lot of animals are there. No animal is harmed and they all are cared too much by the workers of zoo. The place is nice , the scene of dhauladhar range is too much good . The temperature is also cool. I recommend must visit there once.

Zoo is too big I'll suggest that they should run a E Riksha service, or Horse ride also inside. So all age people can enjoy.

I never thought that there's is well maintained zoo/park just at back of the Palampur. Visited it this time because of kids but it's lovely. Best part is it has most of the animals 🦁 lion, 🐯 tiger, 🐻 Bear, deer 🦌 etc. And monkeys are anyhow can be found anywhere these day's. There is a small playing area for kids where they did enjoy a lot. Birds were very beautiful.
