Gopalpur Zoo

Gopalpur Zoo is a zoological facility located at the base of the Dhauladhar Range in Kangra Valley. The site houses various animal species and provides visitors with views of snow-capped Himalayan peaks in the background.

The zoo was established to support wildlife conservation efforts in the Himachal Pradesh region. It became part of a network of zoological facilities working toward the preservation of local fauna.

The zoo serves as a learning space where visitors discover animals native to India's mountain regions. People come here to understand species like the Asiatic lion and Himalayan black bear in a setting that reflects their natural habitat.

The best times to visit are from March to June and September to November, when the weather is milder. The facility remains accessible year-round, though these seasons offer the most comfortable conditions for observing the animals.

The facility houses several species typically found in higher mountain regions, such as the Cheer Pheasant and Bhutan Grey Peacock. These animals live here among maple trees, an environment that mirrors their natural habitats.
