The park is divided into different zones, each housing various species in enclosures that mimic their natural habitats.

The highlight of the tour is the thrilling lion safari. You’ll board a specially designed safari vehicle equipped with large windows for excellent visibility and protection. As you drive through the lion reserve, you’ll have the chance to see Asiatic lions up close, observing their behavior, movements, and interactions in a semi-wild environment.

You’ll be driven through enclosures where these animals can be seen in their natural habitat. The park also has a rich bird population, making it a treat for birdwatchers. Keep your camera ready to capture images of these beautiful creatures.

After a morning full of wildlife sightings, you’ll head to the park’s visitor center or a nearby restaurant for a relaxing lunch. You can enjoy traditional Indian cuisine and discuss your experiences with your guide. The break also gives you time to rest and recharge for the afternoon portion of the tour.

Following lunch, you’ll participate in an educational tour at the park’s conservation center, where you’ll learn about the ongoing efforts to protect endangered species, especially the Asiatic lion. You’ll gain insights into the breeding programs, habitat management, and the challenges faced in wildlife conservation.

The park’s lush greenery and natural surroundings offer a peaceful atmosphere, and you might spot smaller mammals, reptiles, and various bird species during your walk.

After an enriching day spent in the company of wildlife, you’ll start your return journey to Agra. The drive back allows you to relax and reflect on the day’s highlights while passing through the scenic rural landscapes once again.
