This zoo also offers good parks and good sitting arrangements. Vehicle gate was made of mostly glass and little steel, i went closer and can almost see Lion very close to me, I wish i could just open the gate and touch the Lion just for once (but the driver warned me not only once but thrice - that not to dare). He parked the vehicle so close to the Lion, that you can open the gate and can touch him, without getting down. Then we see peacocks walking on the roads.

It took inside to lovely roads, very small (just for one vehicle - slowly).

Tickets are more expensive then zoo entrance :PĪ vehicle was a jeep covered with steel, but was very transparent in view. I asked (querulously) are you sure we would find the tiger, he said yes. Then we encounter a Tiger safari jeep, we asked what is it, so we were explained that this jeep would take you close to the tiger, who is open in the forest.

The best part about zoo was it is surrounded by a forest, or in short, forest was cut down to make a zoo (hush everywhere, greenery, bushes, tall trees etc.). Small pond, with swans (you cant go inside). Yes, it was a traditional zoo - Car Parking - Parking Tickets - Que at manual ticket counter - Que to enter - Que to security check and then hulla finally zoo :')Ĭrocodiles are the first animal you see inside, lying as usual dead, waiting for pray to come close so that they can eat (same like our childhood stories). Trust me since ages i have not been to zoo, and was feeling like a kid to go inside and relish me childhood memories. Zirakpur zoo was the only thing that was near by Chandigarh area (which I could found on Google). So one fine day decided to drive from Delhi to Chandigarh, pick my friends from Chandigarh and just visit Zirakpur Zoo.

I have been to Chandigarh 'n' number of times and now used to the nature and surrounding.
