One
of
the
well
maintained,
expansive
and
among
the
best
zoos
in
Asia,
the
Nehru
Zoological
Park
is
home
to
more
than
1,500
species
of
birds,
animals,
and
reptiles.
Located
in
the
Bahadurpura
area
enroute
the
Acharya
N
G
Ranga
Agricultural
University
in
Rajendranagar
region
of
Hyderabad,
the
zoo
can
be
reached
after
crossing
Afzalgunj
and
the
High
Court.
The
zoo
hosts
different
species
such
as
mynahs,
white
peacocks,
African
Elephants,
chimpanzees
and
rhinoceros.
The
major
attraction
for
visitors
within
the
zoo
is
the
Lion
Safari.
A
van
fenced
with
iron
will
take
you
through
the
gates
of
the
safari.
Here
only
one
gate
opens
at
a
time
and
you
will
find
yourself
surrounded
by
an
entirely
different
world
of
wild
animals
like
lions,
tigers,
rhinos,
panthers,
wild
oxen,
etc.
that
roam
freely
in
the
wilderness
of
a
jungle-like
environment.
Visitors
can
make
their
trip
more
interesting
by
visiting
the
pre-historic
dinosaur
park,
a
nocturnal
zoo,
a
natural
history
museum,
a
mini-train,
several
parks,
and
animal
rides,
which
makes
it
an
ideal
spot
for
picnic.
The
nocturnal
animals
and
the
reptiles
constitute
another
interesting
and
exciting
part
of
the
whole
experience.
It
easily
takes
around
6-7
hours
to
cover
the
whole
zoo
located
on
a
300-acre
site
consisting
of
lush
green
acres.
Nehru
Zoological
Park
is
a
must
see
for
nature
and
wild
life
lovers.
It
also
has
rare
species
animals
and
birds,
most
of
which
are
houses
on
conditions
resembling
their
natural
habitats
as
much
as
possible.
This
holds
the
distinction
as
a
first
zoo
to
create
moated
enclosures
for
various
animals.
TSTDC
runs
a
restaurant
and
other
food
joints.
The
Mir
Alam
tank
is
the
source
of
water
for
the
zoo
and
is
frequented
by
foreign
travelers,
wild
life
enthusiasts,
and
researchers
and
alike.
It
is
located
at
a
distance
of
15
kilometers
from
the
Hussain
Sagar
Lake.
