Bhagwan Birsa Biological Park, Zoological garden in Ormanjhi, Ranchi, India.
Bhagwan Birsa Biological Park is a zoological garden in Ormanjhi near Ranchi that spans roughly 104 hectares with separate zones for animal exhibits and plant collections. The facility includes a veterinary clinic with laboratory and treatment areas to care for the animals living there.
The park opened in 1994 at the edge of Getalsud Dam along the Ranchi-Hazaribag highway as part of efforts to promote wildlife conservation in Jharkhand. Its creation reflected the region's growing focus on protecting natural habitats and educating the public about wildlife.
The name honors Bhagwan Birsa Munda, a tribal leader who fought for indigenous rights during India's independence movement in the late 1800s. Visitors can learn about this connection through displays and the park's design.
The park features clear pathways connecting the animal and plant areas, making it easy to navigate during your visit. Plan your trip for cooler months when animals are more active and walking conditions are more comfortable.
The park houses multiple animal species including mammals, birds, and snakes from the region, allowing visitors to observe diverse wildlife in a managed setting. A sponsorship program lets organizations and individuals support the care of specific animals.
