    Best Time to Visit

    • The ideal time to visit is from September to March when the weather is cool and pleasant, making the long walk through the zoo comfortable. The post-monsoon months leave the zoo looking fresh and green. Summers, from April to June, can be very hot, making an afternoon visit tiring. Monsoon season (July-August) sees rainfall that might interrupt your tour, but the crowds are thinner during this period.
    • Peak Crowd: October (during Dussehra), December-January (winter holidays), weekends, and all public holidays.
    • Moderate Crowd: September, November, February, and March on weekdays.
    • Low Crowd: April-June (due to heat) and July-August (during monsoon) on weekdays.
