G B Pant High Altitude Zoo, Nainital
Bhimtal, Uttarakhand, India
The Govind Ballabh Pant High Altitude Zoo in Nainital is one of the three high-altitude zoos in India and a significant conservation center. Perched on a hill, it offers not just a chance to see Himalayan wildlife but also provides magnificent panoramic views of the entire Nainital town and the ico nic Naini Lake. The zoo was established in 1984 and covers an area of approximately 4.6 hectares. Its primary objective is the conservation and breeding of rare and endangered species of the Himalayan region. The animals are kept in spacious enclosures that simulate their natural habitats as much as possible, providing them with a comfortable environment. Key inhabitants and highlights of the zoo include: Himalayan Fauna: Species like the Snow Leopard (though rare to spot), Himalayan Black Bear, Tibetan Wolf, Sambar Deer, Barking Deer, and Goral. High-Altitude Birds: Various pheasant species like the Kalij Pheasant, Lady Amherst's Pheasant, and other avian species native to the Himalayas. Siberian Tiger: One of the main attractions is often a majestic Siberian Tiger. Red Panda: A charming and elusive animal that is a favorite among visitors. The zoo is managed by the Forest Department and focuses on education and awareness about wildlife conservation. It's designed with gentle slopes and well-maintained pathways, making it accessible for families. There are electric golf carts available for those who prefer not to walk the uphill stretches. A visit to the zoo provides an excellent opportunity to learn about the unique biodiversity of the Himalayas and understand the importance of preserving these magnificent creatures. It's an educational and entertaining outing, particularly for children, offering a break from the usual lake-centric activities.
