First thing which strikes you about the Zoo is how aesthetically and well maintained it is.
Apart from a wonderful collection of birds and animals, they are very well taken care of and hygienically maintained. There are educative boards all around.
I had heard so much about this Zoo..well it is all that and more. It just takes your breath away.
It is an amalgamation of a zoo and beautifully laid out gardens. Absolute must visit when in Mysore.
