As we had gone to Darjeeling with our kids, zoo was one of the shortlisted sightseeing options for sure with limited time on us. Name of the zoo is Padmaja Naidu Himalayan Zoological Park. Himalayan Mountaineering Institute too is inside the same premises.
We had heard that the zoo is really good. So, we started from Cedar Inn at 9.30 and we were at the zoo by 10am. Luckily, we took the upper road for walking so we were happy to see animals straight away. Otherwise, we had met many people who complained about the long walking way which was actually the lower road.
At first we saw the bear. Kids were very happy to see the bear. It had a white thick line on its chest. Bear was roaming around and then relaxed finally. It had a z- black shiny fur. I just wanted to touch it. It appeared very neat and clean.
But of course one cannot touch or feed any of these animals be it in the zoo or in jungle. So be extremely careful.
