Machia Biological Park, Wildlife reserve in Jodhpur, India.
The Machia Biological Park is a wildlife facility southeast of Jodhpur situated near Kaylana Lake that spans several hectares. It holds multiple enclosures for animals native to Rajasthan set within natural rocky terrain.
The facility was created in 1983 as a satellite location for the original Jodhpur Zoo founded by Maharaja Umaid Singh in 1935. The park was developed to showcase the region's wildlife at a second site.
The park lets visitors experience the animals of the region closely and learn about protecting these species. The paths wind through natural rocky terrain where you observe the creatures in their typical surroundings.
The park is best explored on foot using built-up paths that lead through the rocky terrain. Visitors should bring sturdy shoes and plenty of water, especially during the hot months.
A veterinary clinic on the grounds treats the animals medically and provides special supplements during extreme heat. This facility shows how much care goes into the wellbeing of those who live here.
