Travelers

The jeep rocks over gravel as dawn softens the rim of the Deccan Plateau. A line of trees throws long shadows across the service road and, a few minutes later, the dense canopy opens to reveal the park's broad enclosures — a place where wild things decide how close they will let you come.

Adventure Tips

Start early

Traffic to Bannerghatta can add 30–60 minutes; schedule a morning pickup to maximize wildlife activity and avoid midday heat.

Bring a zoom lens

A 200–300mm lens or a quality point-and-shoot with zoom will capture animals safely from inside the jeep.

Stay inside the vehicle

Keep arms and heads inside the jeep at all times — animals roam close to the enclosures and rangers enforce strict safety rules.

Cash for extras

Butterfly Park and zoo entries, plus small refreshments or camera fees, may require cash; keep modest change handy.
