Today at 8.00 am we have decided to take a trip to Bannerghatta national park. So we left early as it is better to reach early in the park to have a good time. On entry of the park we have to pay for the parking space. There are various stalls located in the entry section for the kids, also some jewellery sections. On the entrance of the park there is also a public bus stand located.
Bannerghatta national park is located around 30 minutes from main city. You can be on the Hosur road and take a exit to bannerghatta road. The visiting time of national park is from 9 Am to 5 Pm only.
Safari in Bannerghatta National park
The main activities in this park is safari, zoo and the butterfly park. So we reached at 9.30 Am and we got our first Safari ride. The first Safari ride starts at 9.45Am. The best part is all the animals are released from the cage and they can freely move within the parks. It is the first national park where we can see all the animals including tigers, lions in a close look.
There are grills attached within the windows so that no animals can attack but some openings are there to click a photos. There are also private safari in the jeep for the people.
There are bunch of lions and tigers happily making a peaceful walk. All the animals were really calm. My suggestion is not to visit on weekends as it is crowded whole day and on going to safari there would be a long queue to head inside.
The zoo is organized properly and the total area covers about is 12 hectares. There are total of 1400 species within the park. On the way they dropped us at the butterfly park.
Butterfly park in Bannerghatta National Park
We entered into the butterfly park and we really got surprise. This area is full of butterflies and they also sit on your head and hands that is mesmerizing. It is totally a beautiful view. This butterfly park was started from 2005 year.
There are varieties of butterfly species around that area. The ticket can be collected outside the entry which is very nominal. There are various flowers and a small waterfall which is man made that give us the feeling of small parks.
There is also a breeding center next to it but there are restrictions. You can spend an hour in the butterfly park clicking photos and having fun.
