National Zoological Park, New Delhi: A pictorial documentation
What a pity the Delhi Zoo does not have a website! (update: Mayank, in comments says that the website is http://www.nzpnewdelhi.gov.in/
Well, I made one after my maiden visit to the Zoo on 15 June 2009! 😀
Please note that this pictorial documentation of the zoo misses some aspects and animals but it is still lots given the fact that there was so little on the internet aggregated at one site.
This website is dedicated to children (I love babies)! 😀
Please ‘browse the zoo’ by clicking on the various links in the sidebar.
It has almost everything from the ticket counter to the signboards to the animals. Please note that it is a creative attempt and I have tried to make it quite comprehensive by putting up even the photos of tickets! This blog also has a page on Purana Qila (including a pic of couples getting cosy in public).;)
Feel free to leave your comments on any page. 😀
This is a free blog hosted on WordPress, the world’s best (and most ethical) blogging platform.
I do not make any money from my blogs (ads, if any, have been put by WordPress). This blog was made in less than 3 hours thanks to Windows Live Writer which had made my blogging enormously simple! 😀
To put it bluntly, I was not very happy with the Zoo and the management. I think it could be better. There is a lot of room for improvement. 😦

Miscellaneous/reptile house
These are the pics of Hippo, some other animals and the reptile house I had captured. Please note that I have missed some wildlife in the zoo. I cannot capture images inside the reptile house because of dim light and dusty glasses!
The next two pics are of the reptile house
Emu! 😀
The building in the background is the hospital for animals.
Banyan tree [heritage]
This Banyan tree is quite popular and it was fifty five years old when the following sign board was installed. It is our natural heritage of course!
