Nothing great but worth a visit if you have nothing else to do. We did see a few deer and a couple of monkeys but yes a lot of greenery!!

The sanctuary is well maintained and improved still I visited it first time 30 years ago... my last visit was in this year, and it is a nice place now. The numbers of deer has increased too.. they are very well cared.
