| The biggest Zoo in India, the Nehru Zoological Park is a prefect place for nature lovers. The city is also very much interested in the welfare of animals and the Nehru zoological Park vouches for it. Spanning 300 lush green acres, it has over 250 species of animals and birds, most of which are kept in conditions as close to their natural habitats as possible. |
