Bannerughatta


This is from Bannerughatta Biological Park, here in Bangalore. I took my cousin and niece there. Here in Bangalore, people have a general belief that BG road is very bad. But it is not the case. At least now, the BMP has been taking steps to rennovate / relay many of the road in Bangalore city, the recent ones I encountered with are Convent Road and Museum Road. The BG Zoological park is exactly 20 km from the Brigade Road Rex theatre. They have a Grand Safari there costing Rs 110 on holidays and 85 on weekdays. One thing to note here is that the Grand Safari does not cover Elephant Safari, for which you need to go for a separate safari. Safari lasts for 50 min and if you are lucky, the tigers and lions will come and kiss your van and go. Otherwise they will be like students in a boring history class. I had a chance to shoot some one or two snaps in my RAZR. More than the safari, the zoo is maintained very good. They have installed something called info-park which is an
automatic info machine (similar to Railway Info system) where you can browse through different species of birds, reptiles and animals and get information about them. It takes around 2 hours to go around and see the zoo.
