About This Journey
Bannerghatta National Park is Bengaluru's nearest wildlife escape — a remarkable protected forest just 22 km from the city that combines a tiger and lion safari, bear sanctuary, elephant enclosure, crocodile farm, and the famous Butterfly Park all in one destination. The safari zone operates in enclosed forest sections with guaranteed big cat sightings, making it ideal for families and first-time safari visitors. Adjacent Bannerghatta Biological Park is one of South India's best zoos. Nearby attractions include Skandagiri and Nandi Hills (1–1.5 hrs) for trekking, and Mysore (3 hrs) for palace heritage. A comfortable day trip from Bengaluru, the park also offers short nature walks in the biosphere buffer. Best visited early morning for the safari; open year-round.
