South India’s first and India’s largest leopard safari was recently inaugurated at Bannerghatta Biological Park (BBP) in Karnataka. Established to promote eco-recreation, eco-tourism, and conservation efforts, BBP evolved as a distinct entity from Bannerghatta National Park in 2002. Located approximately 22 kilometres south of Bengaluru, Karnataka, BBP spans an area of 731.88 hectares and houses a zoo, safari, butterfly park, and rescue centre. It is renowned for being the first biological park in India with a fenced, forested elephant sanctuary, making it a significant hub for wildlife conservation and education in the region.
