About Lion Safari at Chhatbir Zoo in Chandigarh

Chhatbir Zoo is among the largest zoological gardens in North India that is situated close to Zirakpur, 17 km from Chandigarh. Also known as the Mahendra Chaudhary Zoological Park, the zoo was constructed in the 1970s. Sprawling across 202 acres of land, Chhatbir Zoo, Zirakpur is home to approximately 103 species of rare and endangered animals, reptiles and birds. Chhatbir Zoo in Chandigarh paints a magnificent picture of the underlying ecological harmony that enhances the charm of beautiful surroundings. The animals are kept in open enclosures so that their behavioral and physical needs can be met akin to their natural habitat.

The sight of Royal Bengal Tiger roaming freely in its near-natural habitat makes every visit worth it. The main attraction of the Chhatbir Zoo tour is the Royal Bengal Tiger and this is the reason why a lion safari is highly looked up to at this zoological park. The safari has developed into the perfect point of interest for visiting the zoo. For a Chhatbir Zoo lion safari, visitors are taken in a caged motor vehicle to the tiger’s refuge so that vacationers can catch sight of the big cat closely. Watching lions with their graceful gait is a goose-bumping experience. One edge of the forest is meant only for big cats and an area of almost 8 hectares of space is dedicated for lion safari. In addition, visitors can watch wild animals such as barking deer, jackal, golden pheasant, leopard, white Indian peafowl, and crane.

Those planning to visit a zoo in Punjab, should also look up to this zoological garden. Bright peacocks keep loitering around, add to the sight of this zoo as well as lion safari. Enjoying close-up views of this royal and fierce animal is an experience to cherish. Certainly, lion safari in Chhatbir zoo is an attraction that tourists should not miss.

Zamindar's 8 days trip to Chandigarh

It was a wonderful experience touring with one of Travel Triangle's associated Tour Operator "Wild Lotus". the services were great. Special thanks to the Tour Manager Rakesh Gilly for being so cooperative. He has been always there for any assistance. The Hotels were as commited just had to compromise a bit with food at some hotels. Hotels provided at Shimla & Dharamshala were the best anyone can get at this price. Hotels at Manali, Dalhousie & Amritsar were also fair enough if compared to the price they charged. Even the car which was provided for local transport was new & in good condition as promised by Rakesh Gilly. The driver was very humble, professional & deciplined. The itenerary was very well planned by Rakesh Gilly & covered almost every tourist spot. In all it was a great experience & from now Wild Lotus will be my preferred tour operator when it comes to touring North India. Thanks again Rakesh Gilly.

Nikhilramesh's 4 days trip to Chandigarh

Overall trip was good. They followed whatever mentioned in the package. Only thing is we felt that the driver was not properly briefed. For the first day we reached Chandigarh very late hence we had to take dinner on the way other than from the booked hotel. This expense has been agreed and allowed to deduct. Appreciate for that. The hotel at Chandigarh was fine. But hotel at Amritsar was not that much standard one. Plus the dining area was not good place. Food was very good in both places. Car driver is very good. driving was perfect. But there was no space at all in this Innova to keep the luggage. we struggled to accommodate and had to keep in the seats. We all came from different places hence all were having luggage. Overall it is very good.
