OMG! These place is full of with parrots. 😅 The kids will go crazy when they will visit this place. The entry is free but there is a catch in it. There are some spots where their is paid photography with parrots in your hand. But its worth your money. The paid photography with parrots ranges from 200 rs to 1000 rs. You can Feed the parrots too in while photography. You get a chance to meet parrots. Its an amazing experience. Go and have fun 🙂

One of the best tourist attractions in Mysore. There are three main places here: Shukha Vana (bird rehabilitation centre), the Bonsai Garden and the Vishwam museum. Entry to the Shukha Vana is free of cost. The birds seemed to be well looked after. There are plenty of birds here. You can click photographs with the birds here, for a fee. The bonsai garden is absolutely wonderful. Entry fee is Rs. 30. The garden is well maintained and beautiful. The Vishwam museum is the third location to see here. Good museum, with a large collection of stamps and other historic items. Overall a great place to spend time.

If you are visiting Mysore or srirangapatna, this place worth a visit. There is a bonsai garden and birds as well. The entry is free to view the birds. The place is nearly maintained and staff keep reminding people to wear masks and the place is great if one loves birds. There are multiple types of parrots and biological name and pet names are mentioned as well. The highlight is photos which can be taken with parrots. It costs about 200 rupees with one photo for a family of 4. Any extra copies required is about 100 rupees. Overall a good place to visit. Next to sukhavana there are 2 temples hanuman temple with a giant statue of anjaneya. There is another panchamukh anjaneya in the basement which is really good. There is a Balaji temple which is really good as well.

Shukha Vana is quite a tourist attraction in Mysuru. There are three main attractions here: Shukha Vana (bird rehabilitation centre), the Bonsai Garden and the Vishwam museum and all of these open at 10 am. The Shukha vana is a bird rehabilitation centre but really is just another name for a fancy zoo where birds are caged. The whole place has a netted ceiling. The birds are allowed out of their cages to fly freely in this space once a week on Wednesday and this place would be closed to visitors. Photography isn't allowed inside however they charge 300 rupees for a photograph with a macaw on your hand. There are varieties of Macaws and parrots housed here and many small birds are left free in the trees. There are a few parrots that are capable of speaking simple phrases too! I'm not a fan of commercialising and caging birds but it helps that they're free once a week in limited space. The Bonsai Garden is right next to the Shukha vana and has a 25 rupee entrance fee. Filled with lush green grass, coiled pathways and plenty of Bonsai trees, this place is very peaceful and the greenery is very eye pleasing. They have varieties of Bonsais, a few nearly 100 years old. Definitely worth visiting. Unlike Shukha vana, you may click pictures here. The Vishwam museum is a collection of items of the Guruji, both his own and the ones gifted to him. Has an entrance fee of 60 rupees. There are 3 floors to this enormous museum and it's definitely one of a kind. There's no theme here. You're likely to find anything and everything. To name a few, there are artifacts organized by their countries, scrolls, music instruments, coin collection, philately collection, precious stones and gems etc. Definitely worth a visit if you want to see things you've never seen before. The morning timings are from 10 to 12:30 and if you're quick on your feet, you can visit all the 3 places I mentioned above in this time.

A beautiful aviary listed in Guinness Book of World Records for being home for the most number of bird species. It's definitely worth a visit. More than 460 varieties of beautiful exotic and indigenous parrots can be found here. Shuka Vana is region where the healthy birds can fly freely all around, just like a natural habitat full of long trees and plants. There is also a veterinary care centre- Pari Vana, rehabilitation centre for disabled birds- Niri Vana, a dedicated gift shop, Shuka vana museum with acollection of different items, and many more. The main attraction here is that we can get pictures clicked by the photographers there, holding different parrots in our hands! And of course, entre is Free. Do visit the Bonsai garden and Hanuman temple also nearby.

Almost all types of parrots can be seen here. Free entry. Neat arrangement and free parking.Sufficient car parking facility. But the staff are not friendly and cooperative. Too high charge for photo session with parrots range from Rs 200 to 1000. SGS Birds Rehabilitation Centre (Shukavana) is located in the picturesque Mysore, near the foot of Chamundi Hill, among natural surroundings. Many parrots are rehabilitated here housed in most habitable conditions and looked after by a professional team of care taker volunteers and veterinarians.

This place is full of colorful parrots. You can see alot of varieties of parrots and they all look cute. You feel like to pet them but you are not allowed( sad fact) you are allowed to take pictures with them after paying certain amount. Camera or mobile phone camera are not allowed. If you are planning to visit Mysore, add shukavana to your bucket list. You can also visit bonsai garden but you have pay for ticket.

Visited on weekday, so the place was not crowded. Here places to see are Shukavana, Bonsai garden, museum, Hanuman & Balaji temple. Shukavana consists of varieties of parrots and Macaw. No entry fee here. Photography strictly prohibited inside. If you pay 200/300Rs, Photographer clicks photos of you with birds. Bonsai garden consists of varieties of plants. Entry fee is 25 Rs per person. There is Hanuman statue inside the same campus where laser show will be done it seems only on the weekends from 7 to 7:30 pm.

Good local attraction... A well maintained place... Temple is also neatly maintained... A big parking space... More than 2500 Bonsai Trees give you a Awesome feel... Bonsai garden is a great relaxing and refreshing place... The God statues and Chinese zodiac designed statues and some mysterious statues are really innovative and great... More than day time try to visit this place in the evening time that will be refreshing and you can enjoy the garden better... Parrot paradise is a great place but when you enter you will hear lot of sounds and your curiosity will increase a lot but after seeing the small cages for big size Parrots you will feel sad for the Parrots... Such a great idea but with these small cages you will feel heavy in your heart... Taking care of Birds is a great initiative but give them a extra space to listen some happy songs from the Parrots... Thank you...

Entry to this place is free.they will charge you 300 Rs or Rs 200/ for taking photo with the birds with a hard copy. This place is clean and has variety of birds. Great place to visit with family and kids. It also has bonsai garden located inside, you can purchase bonsai trees You can also donate for birds food or medicine. Has ample parking space

Excellent place and superbly maintained. The one star less is just for the Photographer who was agitated, arrogant and self obsessed. The counter to collect photos too is messed up. But the birds are lovely and rare. A must visit in Mysore

This is a must visit place for kids. They will love the birds kept in this aviary run by the ashram. Photography of the birds is not allowed, but they have photographers who will take pics of you feeding the birds. Its a unique experience. You can pay for the pics and they will be printed for you at the exit. Coming to the aviary itself, it is designed very well, with lots of trees and plants, giving the place a forest-like ambience. Most of the birds are kept in spacious cages. Most of the birds are various subspecies of parrots, mackaws, cockatoos, lovebirds etc. The cages are labelled with details of each bird.

This place has 3 spots for visitors. A Temple, A bird rehabilitation center and Kishkintha (Bonsai garden). Entry for all 3 spots : 20-50 INR per person altogether. There are a rare variety of macaws, cockatoo, sparrows, exotic hen's, ducks, turkey, flinches separately nurtured and available for exhibit but the highlights here would be the bird's touch &feel and picture with exotic birds(which allowed only for certain species which might be based on the sensitivity). Picture and inside the cage time for us costs around 200- 1000 INR again according to the kind of birds. Hygienic ambience, good number of staff with basic lending knowledge and well maintained parks. No food and plastic items allowed inside. And overall a different experience that children would enjoy the most.

Good place to visit with family and especially kids. We can spend time with birds and peaceful place. Entry fee is free and cameras not allowed inside to take photos. You can pay 200 and you can take photos by having on you. Based on the number of birds it vary. Also outside you can visit bonsai garden about 25 rs per head. Plants are more properly maintained. You can visit anjaneya temple where it has underground panja anjaneya temple also. It cost just 10 to visit. Overall good one to visit nature.

I have visited this place twice both the time it was crowded! Free entry but they charge 200 for photo with small small parrot and for the big parrot they charge 300 (for each parrot)also if you want soft copy of the photo 6 photo will cost you around 150. That how they make profit and you can’t click pics from your own camera or phone. Try go ASAP it open that is 10:30 to avoid crowd! Kids will enjoy !! Few parrots talk 😀

It is amazing to be here to see different kinds of birds and bonsai trees. You will enter into a world of birds where you can see the birds flying and kept in cage. Though it is a sanctuary, the management takes care of the birds. They have a bird hospital as well which you can see from far away. Wednesday is holiday! So plan accordingly. Timings are from 9:00am-12:30pm and 3:30pm to 5:30pm

It also has bonsai garden located inside, you can purchase bonsai trees if interested. You can also donate for bird care

We have visited this place in August 2022 - You will get to see various bird species and different varities of bonsai plants. It was a nice experience - Parking is available - Those birds are trained to take pictures with people. You can get it from only through them. The waiting time to just get those pictures took us an hour. A speedy system saves a lot of time.

Loved this place. This place holds the guiness world record for having the most bird species . Well maintained. The entry is free and clicking the photos with birds costs us some money.. Wide variety of birds are being sheltered.. Each bird has its name at the cage .. Very beautiful place . Worth the visit .

3 main places to visit inside is Balaji temple, Anjaneya temple, Sukhavana. Lots of macow and parrot varieties. Few birds repeat what we talk. Mobiles should be switched off for birds health while entering this place. We can take photos having birds in our hand. 300 for a picture with printed hard copy. Must visit place.

This is a must place to visit where you can find a wide variety of parrots. You cannot take photos inside the area where the parrots are kept. They will take your photos with birds and then you can buy them. There are big,small, colorful and variety parrots.

Bonsai Garden in Mysore is a serene haven that captivated my senses. The artistry displayed in their collection of bonsai trees is truly remarkable. The staff's knowledge and passion for bonsai cultivation are infectious, and their personalized guidance is invaluable. The garden's design and meticulous maintenance create a picturesque setting for meditation and reconnecting with nature. Bonsai Garden is an enchanting experience that I highly recommend to all.

Shuka Vana is a facility for bird rehabilitation.Wonderful location for bird enthusiasts to come.A variety of parrots are exhibited here. There is no entrance cost, but they charge 200 or 300 rupees for bird photography.Mobile phones are not permitted to use inside.

Very large varieties of parrots of different colors, sizes from different parts of the world are present here. Its a treat for eyes watching the parrots. Kids will enjoy it very much. Entry to shuka vana is free. They do not allow to take pictures of parrots. What I did not like is their business idea of pricing the pictures with parrot. picture with 1 parrot is Rs 300, picture with 2 parrots is Rs 600, ,..... It's over priced.

Respect to the Ashram authorities for this amazing safe haven to many endangered birds. Entry is free and beyond a point photography is not allowed for a good reason so that mobile photographers don't become annoyance to the beautiful birds. There is an organised photo section though. The birds sounds are a treat to your ears. I've never seen this range of Macaus in the entire South India. There is a parking ground at entrance post which you need to take a walk about 200 metres.

Excellent place to visit if you’re visiting Mysore and esp if you have kids. Good place to spend 2-3 hours Had good time esp the kids. Ticket is nominal , has option to take photos with Macao and other birds for extra fee. Has a small cafeteria at a nominal fee and clean bathroom. Good parking which is free. Weekends are a rush and there is a temple outside.

A wide of variety of bird, peacefully during weekdays, awesome place to visit

Wonderful and one of a kind place. The tour inside Sukha Vana consists of 2 levels, the first level where the photos are provided below, the 2nd level is where the real magic happens. Although it's prohibited to take photos inside, i must say you will find parrots of all kinds even the ones you've never seen before. From the tinest to the largest parrots all are found here

Did not have time to visit all the attractions in the museum. Just visited the bird park. Entry is free but they charge 200/300 rs for photography. 300 rs for big birds and only one bird is allowed for photography. 200 for little birds and can click pics with as many birds sitting on you. Huge variety of parrot family birds can be seen. One hard copy per ticket free and if you want more 100 rs per copy extra. Can get soft copies for additional payment

Kids will have a very nice time. The photo with the parrots is worth taking. They give us the print at the exit. The cost is Rs 200 per photo. We are not supposed to click our own photos with camera or mobile

Can never describe the experience in words. It was so wonderful and we felt so happy in being with the birds. A must place to visit in Mysore. The entry is free. Beautiful photographs are provided and they charge around 200. The place is so well maintained, neatly and all the birds are taken care of very well. Very good and great effort. Those who are visiting, don't forget to take with the birds using their pet names as they respond back so cutely🥺🥺♥️♥️♥️♥️

The rating I have given is based on cruelty to birds. Such large and exotic birds being kept in such small cages. Hardly any space for movement. How difficult life must be for these caged birds? And surprised that a Swami ji is the owner of this place. Or may be thats why its still there and nobody is raising a voice against it. There are several variety of birds including a talking parrot which repeats whatever we say. I would discourage people from going to the place because that seems to be the only way we can shut it down and free the birds.

Must visit. You feel relaxed after watching so many birds. Nature is beautiful. All birds are so colourful. Lots of lots of birds. Same ashram there is a Bonsai garden and then Kariya sidhi Hanuman temple. Hanuman is a huge statue having free laser show every Saturday and Sunday 7.10 pm onwards. Must watch

Bird lovers will die for this spectacular and breath taking place I have visited twice.. there are so many varieties of parrots and also ambience is built with lot of attention on culture and mythology.. must visit place..

This place holds guiness book of records for having maximum variety of birds in an aviary.. Childrens gonna love it.. Do make sure to visit it
