PHOTO JOURNEY to Baneghatta National Park in Banglore

Banerghatta National Park is one of the main attraction in Banglore city and it was our first choice in the list of all the places we wanted to visit in Banglore... After reaching the place and having one round of wildlife sactuary, it was was marked as a successful visit and worth spending half day including Butterfly house and Zoo... Check some of the photographs with some details....

It was an amazing experience to see lot of white tiger raoming around us... Actually Banerghatta is not like Jim Corbett, Ranthambore or many of other national parks where wild animals are allowed to roam in any part of the sacnyuary. Banerghatta has some dedicated sections for each type of wild animal and many times these animals can be caught around the roads because of good network of roads inside...
