Nandankanan Zoological Park, Zoo and botanical garden in Bhubaneswar, India
Nandankanan Zoological Park extends across 437 hectares of land, incorporating Kanjia Lake and sections of Chandaka forest in Odisha state.
The zoological park began operations in 1960 after a successful wildlife display at the World Agricultural Fair in Delhi prompted the creation of a permanent facility.
The Sanskrit name Nandankanan translates to Garden of Heaven, reflecting the Indian cultural connection to nature and wildlife preservation.
The park remains open from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM except Mondays, with entrance fees of 100 rupees for adults and additional charges for safari tours.
The facility maintains a white tiger safari area and operates India's first rope transit system within a zoological setting.
