Great post on the national park. It is wonderful for the wildlife to have a refuge!
Is this like a zoo? It's not too far from Bangalore.
It is wonderful that an area is set aside for the wild animals. We forget that they were there first.
It looks like a wonderful spot to visit!
You have captured the animals even through the fence. I wish I am able to do that.
Nice mosaic!

Only 22 kms from Bangaluru!. I have included this sanctuary in my wish list. Thanks for the info.
What a nice collage, really enjoyable!
What a beautiful Park. I am so ignorant, I only recently learned that other countries besides the USA have National Parks! I felt really stupid, not to have known that before.
We hope to visit all of the US National Parks -- we have seen most but not all in our travels.
Thanks to all for appreciating this national park and zoo.
Gorgeous shot!
Three Horses, have a great weekend!
Another great tour Rajesh. Boom & Gary of the Vermilon River, Canada.
What a neat zoo, although I think I'll avoid the crocodile park :-)
