Nahargarh Biological Park In Rajasthan Sees Massive Tourist Boom With Lion And Tiger Safaris Thrilling Visitors

Just outside Jaipur, Rajasthan, is Nahargarh Biological Park, subsequently rising in popularity over time, being a hotspot for any nature lover or adventure seeker. In early 2026, thousands of visitors flocked to the park, drawn by the sounds of tigers roaring, Asiatic lions walking by, or the birds found against the backdrop of the Aravalli Hills. Originally started out as a conservation project, it has now developed into an eco-tourism highlight featuring a combination of wild interaction, learning, and accessibility from the Pink City.

About Nahargarh Biological Park

Sprawling across about 720 hectares at the edge of the Nahargarh sanctuary, Nahargarh Biological Park is a rich mix of natural flora and fauna and structured safari experiences that appeal to visitors of all ages. The wildlife that can be seen and experienced at the park represents a diverse array of mammals and birds throughout Rajasthan. Some of the most popular mammals and birds within the park are Asiatic lions and Bengal tigers. In addition to big cats, some other large animals in the park include leopards, hyenas, wolves, deer (chital and sambhar), and sloth bears. Over 285 species of birds have been documented within this wildlife park, including the rare white-naped tit, sought by many birders.

The park contains a zoological section where people can see animals in semi-natural habitats. This section contains reptiles, smaller mammals, and many birds of different colours, which make it an excellent option for families, students, and wildlife photographers.

The lion safari long has been a highlight, letting visitors observe the king of the jungle in a more open environment than a standard zoo enclosure. More recently, a tiger safari was introduced to the park, giving wildlife lovers a rare chance to see Bengal tigers in a dedicated safari zone designed with safety and visibility in mind. These safaris, conducted on designated routes in park vehicles, offer thrilling yet guided experiences that make wildlife viewing unforgettable and educational.

Officials say these safari offerings have been key attractions, with hundreds of visitors booking safari slots on busy days.

Planning Your Visit To Nahargarh Biological Park: Where, When And Ticket Info

Nahargarh Biological Park, just off the Jaipur-Delhi highway and under the Aravalli Mountain Range, within 12 kilometres of Jaipur, will be an ideal addition to visitors' plans who will be visiting Jaipur for sightseeing and visiting the many havelis, palaces, and forts within the city.

The park usually opens mid to late morning; however, operating hours vary by season and usually close in the late afternoon to early evening.

As the park is usually closed one day a week, planning your visit when the park is open to the public may be prudent to avoid disappointment.

The price of admission is priced based on the nationality of the visitor (as well as the cost of a vehicle entry), and as such, Indian adults and students generally pay less than foreign visitors. Similarly, if you enter the park with a camera or video camera, there is a separate fee for each.

To ease the issue of long lines at the ticket office, a visitor may book their admission online through the official forest department website for the state of Rajasthan, and this can save time, especially on weekends and holidays.

The best time to visit Nahargarh Biological Park is generally between the months of October and March, due to lower temperatures and the animals' greater movement during daylight hours, with morning hours suggested as the best for birding and safari outings.

Wear comfortable shoes, carry water, sun protection and a pair of binoculars if you can. Follow park guidelines and stay on official routes to ensure a safe and enjoyable wildlife experience.

Since the park is just outside Jaipur, it can be easily paired with visits to other iconic attractions such as historic forts, palaces and lakes that the region is famous for. This makes Nahargarh Biological Park not just a wildlife stop but part of a broader cultural and nature travel experience around Rajasthan’s capital.
