The safari is good, but with recent development inside the park has made the Safari a bit artificial as most of the Tigers & Lions tend to live near the cages, as they have easy access to food & water. Even the fauna & flora looks a bit unnatural. I have been visiting the park since 1998 when there were... More

Bannerghatta is a really nice one day get-away from the pollution prone Bangalore city! Most other national parks promise to show the visitors wildlife, but end up showing nothing. This is not the case in Bannerghatta National Park! You will see tigers and lions from very close quarters.. And that too a lot of them! Hats off to the management... More

Very easy way to visit. The flora and fauna and the animals and safaris are not a drag on your purse or on the level of entertainment you expect from a visit to such a place. You can rest or loiter about at your convenience. Connectivity with the city not an issue - public transport is good enough - you... More

No a very pleasant trip as against information available about the park on net. Not properly maintained a typical government maintained attraction though bus facilities are good.

You get to see lot of different animals, but the safari is the best experience to see the Bears and then Tigers. They come right up close to the Jeep / Van and you get some real great photo's. Must see in Bangalore.

Visited on a hot day, yet, the improved greenery made the visit pleasurable. Initiative to avoid carrying plastic bottles greatly appreciated. Animals upkeep is yet not satisfactory but vastly improved. Urge visitors to join the cleanliness initiation of authorities by not littering inside after picnics but use trash bins.
