Lion safari at Nahargarh Bio Park starts today

The much awaited lion safari has been thrown open for public from today. With this step, it is being hoped that wildlife tourism will reach new heights in the state. While Forest Minister Gajendra Singh inaugurated lion safari in September, it is now thrown open to public by the forest department.
Deputy Forest Officer Sudarshan Sharma recently announced that the park will open for visitors from 3rd October, and stated that the timing for lion safari will be from 9 AM to 4 PM. The entry ticket for the safari will be INR 200 per person.

This natural trail for the safari, i.e., in the foothills of Aravalli hills, offers panoramic view and extends for a path of 2 km. A forest official, referring to this development, stated that caged vehicles will be used to ensure safety of the visitors. The forest department will be initially using two 16-seater vehicles for safari, whereas two more will be added in the near future.
Visitors coming to the park for lion safari will get to see three lions released into the enclosure—two male cubs, Tejas and Tripura, and the lioness Tara. Apart from this safari activity, there are 21 enclosures in the biological park where other endangered animals, such as a leopard, a tiger and other wild animals, have been provided with natural vegetation.
Also, to monitor the lions effectively, a checkpost tower just outside the park has been set up for the forest guards. There will also be ‘hidden point’ near the watering hole for tourists to catch sight of birds.

So, if you wish to have something exciting this weekend, plan a trip to Nahargarh and enjoy lion safari for a change.
