Wildlife & Biological Park Visit, 28 October 2026

Completed

Wednesday, 28 October 2026 at 9:00 am · Nahargarh Biological Park, Jaipur

Our educational visit took school students to Nahargarh Biological Park, in the Aravalli hills on the edge of Jaipur. On a guided walk through the park, from habitat to habitat, they learned how a biological park differs from a zoo: here, animals live in large enclosures shaped like their natural homes, with room to move, behave naturally and breed, and the park also works on their welfare, on research and on conservation education.

After the walk, the students settled on the grass in the shade of the trees, where officials of the Rajasthan Forest Department explained their work and answered the students' questions in a lively, interactive conversation on wildlife conservation. The students then took a quiz on wildlife, and the morning ended with light snacks from KJVF and the Forest Department.
