Tyavarekoppa Lion Safari
Tyavarekoppa Lion and Tiger Safari is a popular wildlife destination established in 1988. It is the second safari park in Karnataka after Bannerghatta. Spread over 200 hectares, it serves as a rescue and rehabilitation center for big cats. The safari allows visitors to board caged vans to enter the fenced forest area where lions and tigers roam freely. Apart from the big cats, the park includes a mini-zoo with leopards, sloth bears, and various species of deer. It is a perfect destination for families looking for an adventurous day out while learning about wildlife conservation. :
