Deer Park is one of Almora’s most popular attractions, with lofty pine trees adding to the area’s rich natural beauty. This park is home to a large number of deer, ferocious Himalayan bears, and wild leopards, all of which can be seen roaming around freely. Furthermore, the location is great for a leisurely stroll during the day.
It’s more of a rehabilitation centre than a zoo with couple rescued Leopards, one Himalayan Black Bear, three different types of deer, one White Deer, and one White (Albino) Rhesus Monkey. The zoo area is quite large, and senior persons may have difficulty descending and climbing to all five enclosures housing diverse species. There is plenty of parking space outside the Zoo. Only come here if you have a lot of time to spare.
So, reading the reviews of Almora Zoo we can read that many people say that tis place is worth visiting. We too experienced the same until we saw this amazing water pond with a beautiful bridge which was worth taking a picture with. Walking around you will see that this place is a perfect scenic attraction for Nature Walk.
Lurking around and enjoying the nature’s beauty we decided this place is must visit if you are in Almora District of Uttarakhand specially if you have came to enjoy nature from a hectic city life.
