Lucknow Pravasi - Part 5

Nawab Wajid Ali Shah Zoological Park

As part of the Lucknow Pravasi series, we are taking a tour of the famous tourist places in Lucknow. Known as the "City of Nawabs", Lucknow is famous for its excellent historical architecture, as well as for its Zoological Park (Nawab Wajid Ali Shah Zoo). Various species of animals, birds, and fishes, a State museum with historical heritage, a short paddle boat trip, and some unforgettable moments spent with butterflies in the butterfly park will be seen in this blog.

In order to not miss the time to see the animals in the zoo, we left for the park early in the morning. We bought tickets and started visiting the park. We got to see and experience so much in this zoological park that even a full day would not be enough.

A board with brief information about each animal is placed near the cage. Giraffes, deer, zebra, tigers, lions, leopards, hippopotamuses, ostriches, bears, monkeys, snakes, turtles, and crocodiles are also there in the park.

The State Museum at Lucknow Zoo is a treasure for those interested in history, art, and especially archaeology. Many ancient structures of different religions like Jain, Buddhist, and Hindu can be seen in this museum.

We also did a small Paddle Boat ride here.

The most memorable moment of our day trip was the Butterfly Park at Lucknow Zoo. In other places, the caged animals, the birds, were either afraid of us or we of them. Here, however, the picture was different.

The butterflies here are sure that the tourists will not harm us, but when we touch them, they must have a feeling that these tourists are waving their hands over us.

We had some breakfast and started our way back.
