This zoo is very near from Nainital lake but at high altitude. For that, cab services are provided for both side. Ticket you will get at the base only. After reaching at the height some stiff climb is there to reach to the zoo main gate. Many mountain based birds and animals you will find here. Restaurant is also there when you exit. Zoo is clean and well maintained. Must visit.

Beautifully maintained place. Was over the moon watching tigers and leopards so up-close. Must visit

Most amazing experience of wildlife ever. I saw Tiger, panther, bear and many other animals first in my life here.

An ultimate experience..... Wonderful location, well managed, variety of animals and birds. All in all a must visit place in a hill station like nanitaal..

Awesome place. As the name says its really situated at high altitude. Gather all your stamina to visit this zoo but worth visiting. Neat and clean campus well maintained throughout. You cannot take your own vehicle here so either you have to walk (climb) 1.5 km (wont recommend at all) from the mall road, or you can take a shuttle (Rs 60) that would take you up there and bring you back to the mall road ( recommended). Here are some beautiful snaps taken during my visit.

This place is huge and most of the animals are very well maintained. The main attraction here are their majestic Bengal tigers, cheetahs and leopards. The entry fee is ₹50 per person. There are regular shuttles available for people from the market area (opposite Evelyn Hotel) from where you also have to purchase the shuttle ticket which is for ₹59 per person. Its a pick-up and drop service at the same point. One can even walk it out as it is just a 1.3 kms walk from the starting point of the lake. It is uphill, so it takes about 15-25 minutes if you keep walking continuously until you reach the zoo and it is a straight road too!Beware of the monkeys once you enter the premises of the zoo. There are not many, but one should still be cautious. The zoo opens at 10 am and closes at 4:30 pm. Make sure you go in the morning and watch the animals before it gets crowded, leading them to go back inside their dens in their respective enclosures.Overall, visiting this zoo was a great experience.

This is one of the most attractive zoo situated in the top of Nanital. Here you have visit tiger, wolf, bear, leapord, etc.

One of the best and maintained zoological park I have ever been visited! Located at height! You can drive there till basepoint by car or bike! Or else you can walk or take shared cab options! Approx 15 min walking from Mall road! Worth to visit!

I loved this zoo, it was clean and green. It wasn’t that big and the no. of animals were less too, though it was amazing. It is located on a very high altitude. Such an amazing place to enjoy quality time with your family. It will take one or two hour to explore completely and directly proportional to your strength and stamina. Better to take a taxi that costs only 40 rupees for both side. I would suggest not to go with aged or physically disabled people.

Uttarakhand Best Place Nainital Zo Good Tourist Attractive Place Bengal Tiger I See

One of the best zoo you will visit in town. Situated at high altitude. Two ways to reach one by stairs and other way by which you can reach by your own car. I would say do not take stairs as they are very tough. The zoo experience is very good, with loads of wildlife and extinct species. There are arrow marking for the guided way to reach every animal one by one. There is 100 rs charge for adult and 50 for children. Must visit place with children specially.

Awsm place😃. It is situated lil bit on height but worth to explore.. well maintained, decorated and many rare animals🐅🐆🐼🐓🦚🦉🦜 are there especially red panda🐻.. beautiful scenic views are there.. although its on high altitude so better to take shuttle service from mall road (cost 60rs/person for both side) ..

Beautiful nature and lots of animal to see including tiger and leopard. Just amazing atmosphere. You must have to visit. Ill suggest you if you dont have any problem to walk, just go without any vehicle. Tracking to zoo is amazing experience. Its a must do thing in nainital

Amazing experience.Best time to visit in August month.

Very nice zoo. U can see all the animals to near by of them.Nearest to Mall RoadSmall but beautifulll

Deliberately the photos I am sharing doesnt have any animals or birds of zoo...as I understand this is one of the highest altitude zoo and more than what we all go to zoo, this place is must visit for its scenic beauty... The view from up there is something you would loveIts closed on Thursdays apart from government holidays and to reach here you would get taxi from mall road which have fixed price, in one taxi they take 10 passengers

This zoo has some of the rare animals. Its fun to visit there. But keep in mind, as the name says, this zoo is really at high Altitude. One has to be quite fit in order to enjoy there, else youll get tired just on reaching the main entrance. Even the distance between 2 different animals is at height. Ticket price of the zoo is ₹100. The journey starts from Hotel India at Mall Road. Youll have to take a Shuttle in order to get there. The Shuttle charges are separate from zoo. It is ₹60 for both sides.

Amazing...amazing....and super amazing!! Must visit but only if you are ready to walk n that too on very steep slopes. U will be tired but trust me catching a glimpse of the red panda will leave u mesmerized..❤ on the plus...the view is amazing from the top!!

Worth visiting the place..beautiful..in the starting there is a eating joint..has good space for sitting..its a snack shop..u can reach there by car..u can take taxis from mall road..there are ticket counters on the mall road for taxis..they are fast..no waiting for them..after reaching zoo.take tickets from the ticket counter..

If you are having a plan for Nainital, then you must go to Zoo. Because here you will see all the animals. Like lion, Tiger, leopard, bear, red panda, wolf, deer and bird etc. If you are an average person, you can walk on the road from Mal Road, there is a 20-minute walk from the bottom. But if you do not like to walk more then so you can also take a cab or own car. Zoo is very big, You will enjoy a lot here and the point of view from the top will also be very good.Enjoy...

The high altitude zoo is very good for everyone. The best thing is that all animals are looks happy and healthy which usually miss in other zoo. Transportation facilities are available which helps alot for oldies and differently capable persons.

You can have to-fro shuttle to zoo from mall road for Rs. 59. Shuttle will drop you around 200 M away from zoo.You can reach there by walking also just 1.2 KM climbing. Prefer shuttle if you are not comfortable in tracking. Inside zoo also you have to track a little.Great experience with Tigers and Leopard .Black Bear and red panda are bit lazy... 😀.Ticket charges are 100 for each person.

Spread over in an over 11 acres of lush green land at a high altitude of 2,100 mtrs, G. B. Pant Zoological Park, Nainital hosts many of the wild animals and birds. Red Panda, Leopards, Jackals, Barking dears are a few wild animals to welcome you with their closest look.If you are an animal and nature lover, you need to have at least half day to explore this zoo.

A well managed zoo with lots of interesting species. The main attraction is The Tiger but apart from that one can see wolf, red panda, markhor n other high altitude species also. Must visit if you are in Nainital.

Overall experience is good. And the place is quiet peaceful. Zoo is on high altitude so people who cant walk long can take taxi which are easily available here.and here is also some restaurant here at zoo gate but they are very expensive .

The nature and the area where this zoo is situated is beautiful, youll see many endangered rare species too , my personal favorites from the zoo are bengal tiger, peacock and white owl , though it was quite sad to watch all of these animals spending their life in the bars, I enjoyed the weather ,seats are present place in place to rest , the ticket is 50rs per person. Area is very neat and clean. During lockdown they take covid precautions like checking temperature and sanitation.

Beautiful place.. This zoo location somthing different from others... If u too much seen or deeply enjoyed nainital other visiting places .. Then the view what u get from this zoo is almost same#bored .. But the actual think is, it is full of mind full Ness...satisfactory & tiredable 😅😊🍀

Wow! Such an amazing place. People must visit this Zoo. Kids will enjoy a lot!

Nice place to visit.. but as it is high Altitude....heart patients n children need to be careful... although the maintenance of the view is very good..and one musrlt also visit Prachin Ganganath Mandir.. located atop the Zoo....very spiritual place to be in....

It was a great experience. I had never experienced this in my life. I would like to come here again and show this to my family also, it is amazing.

It is a steep 2 km trek from the mall road to reach the the zoo. An alternative is the taxi service for which you would have to wait for a long time in peak season i.e. May-June-July. Then you will have to trek for animal gazing. Its a good zoo for people who love trekking. While trekking you get to see some amazing animals. The first one youd see is a tiger! And leopards! A trek of some more distance youd see a Himalayan black bear. The best thing in this zoo is the bird section. A lots of lively birds, some youd only find in the Himalayas! However, there are some more animals to see, one of which I saw for the first time in my life: Markhor, national animal of Pakistan which have horns like spiral pasta, lol. Another heart-winning thing was the Red Panda! There are 2 of them in separate spaces and they are really adorable. Some more unique animals make the long trek worth it! There is also a small info centre in the start of the zoo which caters some cool information about Earth.

Nice place to visit....👍

Nice place... Must go and visit.. A shuttle service takes you to the place and you have to walk (inclined slope) for rest 150 metres.

Awesome experience. Animals are lively. City view is awesome as the zoo is at very high altitude.

This is very beautiful zoo. If you come Nainital then do not forget visit this place. Feel amazing experience..

Nice place to visit. All the animals are healthy. Must visit place.

Must visit for people visiting Nainital. Zoo is well maintained . Costs Rs 100 per person. Tiger and Jaguar will make ur day.

Just awesome place to visit NainitalBeautiful view of nainital 🤩

Loved the place. Loved the ambiance.Also the entry fee isnt₹ 50, its ₹100 🤣

Simply awesome, best combination of nature and animals. Any age group will simply love it. People with knee problem or old age might find it difficult to climb.

We seen wonderful view on top of the hill.A perfect location to seeing full view of nainital.

Awesome ExperienceBut feeling so sad that they are in the cages.I love animals but they love freedom.

Good place to bring kids for Himalayan birds species, bengal tigers and leopards

Well maintained zoo... They are having super rare birds n mammals of Himalayan region like Red Panda and Tibetan Wolf. Its real high altitude that you can feel clouds passing around you... worth visiting place

Good place to visit

This is one of the attractive tourist location of Nainital. Timing is 10 am to 5:30 and best for wildlife lovers...

Very nice and well maintained zoo with all the amenities. Most of the Animals are kept in there natural habitat. Main attraction here is Red Panda, Snow leopard and Bengal tiger. Once they have Siberian Tiger and a Moose which were the main here attractions but now we have to compromise with Bengal Tigar and common deer stag

Very well maintained, with or without children may visit this location.

Nice place

This was an amazing place to be with family and friends.The best part was the walking upwards for the next sightseeing of the animal.People found this concept crazy to build a zoo on a slanted mountain.But its really good if you love to walk.The views from the above are just marvelous.I went there with my family,some people were tired after walking some steps but i was not one of then.I kept on with some of the people and enjoyed at the zoo to the fullest.First we have to book a car or we can go up with a bike or by walking towards the zoo.No private vehicles are allowed on the way towards the zoo.Inside the zoo we have to explore while walking.You should carry a water bottle as purifiers are installed on some spots.I had an amazing experience at this place.We saw the tiger staring at us😨.The animals were very active.They were not sleepy like other zoological park animals.

👌

Its literally the best zoo in Uttarakhand..Awesome catering services and a clean environment..

Clean and Maintained Zoo...must visit if you are travelling Nainital for the first time.One of the tourist attractions.

Covering a small green area of 4.693 Hectares, Nainital Zoo is the home of numerous endangered species, many of which are adopted by people and animal organizations. This high altitude zoo is located at an height of 2100 mtrs which makes this zoo a favourable place for many animals and birds. Locally called as Sher ka Danda, Nainital Zoo is located at hill slope in Nainital.

Located on high altitude.Animals are quiite active specially the tigerLot of varieties of birds n also zoo is having one selfie point.

Its a beautiful zoo located on top of the hill. There are different animals like tiger, leopard, himalyan wolf and some beautiful birds. Location and view will make your trip worthwhile. Just wear good pair of shoes because it involves lot of climbing up because of the hills. Definitely recommended!

Very interesting place

Superb.tigers,Leopard and mostly birds are there. Inside the zoo restaurant is also there.

All animals in the zoo are healthy and active. Involves walking on steep slopes. Leopards and tigers are the main attraction.The Red Pandas and the Tibetan wolves were a surprise attraction.Well maintained toilets and water stops.Do not miss the albino peacock, parakeets, macaws and Egyptian vulture.Tickets bought on mall road cost Rs.50 plus tax per person for taxi shuttles to the entrance of the zoo which is otherwise a steep climb.Then entrance ticket costs

If u are able to walk on steeped ways then it is the best one to visit..

Its a high altitude zoo . Amazing place .A lot of animals like Tiger , Leopard , bear , etc .Well maintained .

An iconic zoo that boasts of being a high-altitude zoo is also called G.B.Pant High Altitude Nainital Zoo.It is home to various endangered and beautiful species of animals such as the Royal Bengal Tiger, Tibetan Wolves, Leopard Cat, the Himalayan bear, Japanese Macaque, Barking Deer, Sambar, etc. It also houses some popular varieties of birds viz. Hill Patridge, Steppe Eagle, White Peafowl, Red Junglefowl, Lady Amherst Pheasant, Rose-ringed parakeet, blossom headed parakeet, Kalij Pheasant, amongst others.The zoo was established in 1984 and was opened to the general public from 1995 onwards. Spread over a good 4.6 hectares, it was officially named as Pt. Govind Ballabh Pant High Altitude Zoo in the year 2002.#Trivia: It is one of the three high altitude zoos in India. The other two being located in Darjeeling and Sikkim.

One of the best zoo after the jim corbett national park. Located in nainital near mallital and tallital. You can see tiger, leopard, deer and other wild animals here.You can see many different types of birds here.If you are here for the first time dont worry at all, just on your internet connection, set map then go with Rented bike or any type of two wheeler. Do not waste your money by using taxi or any other service. Use Rented two wheeler, it will cost 600-800 rs. For 6 hours. Park your two wheeler near zoo two wheeler parking area and enjoy the weather.

The zoo is very amazing. The taxi facilities are available but you need to walk approx 300-400 metre to go zoo entry. This hily zoo is not like the zoos available in other grounds. You need to climb hiles through stairs to visit various sections of the zoo.

In that zoo all animals are very attractive 😉 and their is many type of spicies of birds are found, i.e. good for visitors.👌👌

It is a zoo on high altitude. You have to walk there. small cars also go there.The animals are there and it worth visiting. A beautiful view of the lake could be seen from the height.

Lovely place to visit, though the zoo is a bit small and trek is a bit tough. Animals are very well kept.

It was a memorable experience. As the name says the zoo is very high up in Nainital but worth a visit especially if you have young kids with you. Your private car/taxi isnt allowed to take you upto the zoo so there is a shuttle which is available near India hotel in Mall road to take you upto the zoo which is not more than a 10 minute drive. There is an entry ticket you need to buy at the zoos entrance. The zoo is very well maintained and the animals look healthy and well taken care of.- Entrance situated at the end of Mall road (Main high street of Nainital City)Commute:- One can walk uphill of 2 kms for main entrance- One can hire an auto running exclusively on the Zoo route (Inexpensive)Zoo:- Surprisingly I found it to be at par of any mini zoo Internationally- Very neat and clean- Ticket system also pretty organised- Wide variety of animals, birds and other elements one finds in a zoo- Seems the authorities take good care of the wild life as were healthy beings- Merchandise availability to take back souvenirs- Lots of vantage points for a good click and memoriesMinuses- Be ready to trek up hill inside the zoo as well as its a hilly terrain- No good Eateries (But on Mall road ample of options available at 2 kms)Happy journey!

Loved it. One gets to see various wild animals tiger, Leopard etc. The only drawback is one has to walk a lot and not suitable for elders. There are decent toilet facilities, though they have kept water purifiers for drinking water but it doesnt work, so one has to carry water bottle. There is a merchandise shop too.

Amazing place you have to reach there by 11 AM to watch the mighty Himalayas.The Maggi and tea hits different here when you sit and eat them because of the views.If youre visiting nainital you surely have to visit this place! You can rent a scooty which somewhat cost around 700 rupees and you can explore all the points in Nainital in a day.

Zoo is great lot of animals are their, great place to visit in nanital

In this u can see tiger so close 🤠

Amazing experience

The place is good as far as you can climb steep roads. It takes maximum an hour to see all the animals. Animals are in good condition due to climate and altitude. Only local shuttle service can get you there with a round fare slip. The only issue is, they stock around 12-13 people in a Sumo type car.

The zoo is just fine. They dont have a lot of animals there. It felt little bit costly if we compare with the animals available there. Ticket price for adults is ₹100 per head. And please take some vehicle. Its really at very high attitude. I was exhaust after reaching there on foot.

One of the exotic exotic birds in the zoo attracts special visitors. Among these, Lady Amhast Fijant, Silver Fijant, Golden Fijant, Silver Golden Fijant, Chinese Ring Neck Fijant, Japanese Green Fijant, Bright Partridge etc.

Very well maintained, view from zoo is amazing. It is on the mountain slope, so you will have to walk uphill to see the whole zoo. You can get zoo shuttle (cabs) from mall road, drive your own car (will have to park on narrow road), road is steep.

GB Pant High Altitude Zoo is one of its kind zoo which is a must visit place at Nainital. One gets taxi from base till zoo which is around 2 km from base. The zoo has all the animals in natural environment with huge places to roam around and it can be seen from the fact that all the animals are healthy and active. Some of the major attractions are - Tiger, leopard, wolf, red panda, various deer varieties and birds.

Pretty well maintained zoo. They had all the animals except for lion and elephant.The animals seem to be well fed and properly take care of. They have marking on the roads to help us navigate inside the zoo. Follow them properly.A must visit place.

Very nice place that the view of the city from such a height is very good

Very nice place for kids

Very nice experience. Safe and clean

The zoo of Nainitaal is the must visit place for tourists, You can see leopard, tiger, red panda, deer, samba, peacock, various birds, Macau, various deer here, You have to visit on foot, almost two hours is required to roam the whole zoo. Its a beautiful zoo where natural trees of hills are available, only it is surrounded by iron barrier. As it is in the hill area you can face some difficulties while roaming. Food available outside the zoo, toilet also. It was quite cold here on October but if you have to walk you will feel warm.You will enjoy the Zoo.

This place has peace Ive been looking for😭💕Best experience...

Wonderful 😊 place 💞🤩

Amazing place. You can enjoy the zoo with a view to die for. Well kept facility. Path is rather inclined and makes it less suitable for elderly and different abled people. Must visit place.

The animals here are in good health and due to the pleasant weather, the animals are usually not in the hiding. The zoo also exhibits different plants and trees. Eating on the zoo premises is not allowed , however there is a small eatery outside the zoo.

This place has given such wonderful memories during my college days. This is one of the well maintained zoos Ive ever been to. Would suggest to wear your running shoes cos you need to walk a lot and climb steep roads. Carry your own water bottle. Spend some time in the garden before you exit. You will get to experience a beautiful view of the lake. Make memories!

Zoo with a variety of animals. Some of the cages are empty due to shortage of animals. But still there are plenty of animals. You will really enjoy the time spent here while viewing fauna. Beware of monkeys while going to zoo. They might snatch your articles and put you in trouble. For reaching the zoo you must have a private vehicle or you can share a cab that is available near the rickshaw stand. Slope is very high so it is a bit difficult to reach by walking. There are animals like tiger, leopard, lion, pigeon, and a variety of parrots.Even the red panda are also there which keeps on hanging in bamboo branches you have to be careful for watching them otherwise you might pass them without even noticing them. When you enter the zoo just follow the marks made on the road and you will pass through the whole zoo without missing anything. If you will not follow the road signs then you might miss some of the animals. Even there are waterpurifiers installed at mutliple places so you dont have to worry about it. Carrying eatable items inside the zoo is not allowed as there are chance of people giving those eatable to animals or throwing the wrappers here and there. Making the zoo dirty.

Well maintained zoo. Some birds could be provided larger enclosure as they appeared to be confined in a small enclosure(especially the parrots.) The zoo has a collection of good diversity of animals. Overall, had an enriching experience visiting this zoo. The zoo had animals ranging from Schedule1 to 3(as far as I noticed.)

Very good experience in the zoo ☺️

Just about 2 km from Nanital bus stand this is one of the most well maintained and beautiful zoo I have ever visited. Spread in the area of approximately 5 hactare this place give you glimpse of Himalyan wild life..You can also enjoy beautiful view of Nanital lake and surrounding mountains from this place..

Absolutely nice place and the tiger and leapord are amazing here ...Many species are present here of different types of animals..Once in a life must visit .

Good maintained zoo, quite slippery and hard to climb route after snowfall. All routes are inclined so gives you a good days walk and exercise.

Well maintained zoo and have a cafeteria with a quite of good food options. But some cages (very few) of birds and animals were empty. Best thing is that while roaming in the zoo you will get the tracking experience also.

A place full of fun

Very good, interesting and well maintained

High altitude zoo of nainital. Great place to visit in summer.

A well maintained Zoo. Small and beautiful. As the name says, High Altitude Zoo...it requires you to walk uphill following the yellow arrows to cover everything.Good place for families.

Nice zoo, well maintained but its really difficult for the elderly to walk up the steep walkways both to the zoo and inside as well.. Timings are 10 am to 430 PM, Mondays closed. Theres a zoo shuttle from the mall road that costs 40rs per head to drop you half way up the really steep >1km road that leads up to the zoo. Recommended if youre young and agile and athletic, if not, stay away!
