Was looking for a nearby wild life destination in Hyderabad. Came across Mrigavani , the park seems pretty exciting on paper. So thought of giving it a visit. However looks like wildlife guys messed up a bit in terms of keeping something pure by keeping it away from human civilization and at the same time Shouting "Look I am here". So you end up going there with Great Expectations and come back looking for a next Venue.
- It’s a 900 Acres National park , opened in 1988 near Hyderabad
- App < 25 kms from here , pretty good approach road. ( Near chilkur Balaji)
- It is a restricted area so you actually feel like being in a Jungle.
Pros:
- Flora: Pretty Impressive.
- Pretty cheap. ( Safari 50/- rs only)
- A decent safari ride. ( bus)
- Lush green.
- Limited crowd.
- It is one of the “to visit places” near Hyderabad ( courtesy APTDC)
Cons:
- Fauna: Deers , Hare , Woodpeckers , Pea cock . Pea Hens ,Butterflies. ( The one I saw)
- One hour inside and you are like , anything left L
- Majority of the part is restricted and you cant go inside.
- Just one food shop that too bare min.
- They have guest house but it can’t be booked on the spot.
- They claim to have snake shows , Educational tours , Jungle walks , But nobody knew how to get . them done. Even APTDC guys were not sure about them.
In short much ado about nothing.
