Rajasthan is set to add a major attraction to its wildlife tourism with a new biological park coming up in Alwar. Planned in the scenic Kati Ghati area, this park will combine wildlife conservation, animal care and tourism in one place. Once completed, it will become the first biological park of its kind in the National Capital Region (NCR), offering safaris, a rescue centre and a modern veterinary hospital.
The proposed biological park will be developed between Kati Ghati and Jaisamand in Alwar district. It will spread across nearly 100 hectares of land. Around 30 percent of the area will be used as a zoo for animals, while the remaining 70 percent will be kept as green space to maintain a natural environment.
The Alwar Biological Park will house more than 400 wild animals belonging to 81 different species. Visitors will be able to see rare and popular animals such as lions, cheetahs and several types of tigers found in India. Giraffes brought from Africa will also be a major attraction, making the park unique in the region.
One of the biggest highlights of this park will be the availability of multiple safaris at a single location. Tourists will be able to enjoy lion safaris, tiger safaris and herbivore safaris within the same park. This combination has not been seen before in the NCR region and is expected to draw a large number of visitors.
A modern animal rescue centre will be built inside the biological park. It will be developed on the lines of the well-known rescue facility at Gir National Park in Gujarat. Forest department teams have already studied Gir’s rescue methods, community involvement and animal care systems to apply similar practices in Alwar.
The project also includes a fully equipped veterinary hospital for wild animals. The hospital will have advanced medical facilities for treatment and care. A dedicated team of doctors and forest officials will be posted there to handle injured, rescued and sick animals efficiently.
Along with large animals, the biological park will also feature a butterfly park. Different species of butterflies will be showcased, adding colour and educational value for visitors. This section will especially attract children, students and nature lovers.
To populate the park, the forest department has contacted 25 zoos across the country. Information is being collected about animals that can be safely transferred to Alwar. Once approvals are received, the relocation process will begin in a planned and phased manner.
A detailed project report has already been prepared by the forest department. The construction work will start after receiving clearance from the Union Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change. After approval, the project is expected to move forward quickly.
The Alwar Biological Park is expected to strengthen wildlife conservation efforts while also boosting tourism in Rajasthan. With modern facilities, diverse animals and multiple safaris, it will become a major attraction for tourists, researchers and wildlife enthusiasts alike.
