Nice and enjoyable place... this place is separated from the original park...
Entry fee: Rs.50 per head for normal park entry + Rs. 15 for bear safari or Rs. 60 for entire safari experience...
Only two to three bears are present currently...
I was in a hurry so I just captured this picture only. Btw it's entertaining to look at the bear
The bears in the Bear Zone are part of the Nandankanan Zoological Park community.
The bear enclosure of Nandankanan which is the favourite place of children. You can find the bears anytime as they love to dwell near to humans & watch them. There is a hut like enclave inside the bear zone which is the shelter for the bears. Go & enjoy but keep in mind that never disturb the bears as they love peace
The sloth bear was all alone, need some company and the others were posing for the photo

#Nandankanan_Zoological_Park is one of the premier large zoos in India and was established on 29th December, 1960. The White tiger Safari and the Lion Safari was established in the year 1991 and 1984 respectively. The Herbivore safari was created in the Park in the year 2011.
The newly created #Bear_safari over an area of more than 10 acres has been constructed under the financial assistance from 13th Finance Commission Grant. The design of the Bear Safari has been prepared by an Architect in consultation with zoo experts of the State. The total cost of establishment of Bear Safari comes to Rs.200 lakhs. The site for the bear safari was selected in a patch of natural forest situated adjoining to the Herbivore safari and Lion safari.
The entrance gate of Bear safari has been specially designed to provide a natural look. The safari is surrounded with a boundary wall of 828m. length and 3m. height. The northern boundary of the safari has been earmarked with a moat ( over a length of 164m and a depth of 2.5m). The road network inside the safari spreads over a length of 505m.
