Exploring Bannerghatta Biological Park: Combining Grand Safaris with a Relaxing Resort Stay

South Bangalore’s Premier Wildlife Gateway

Spanning over 260 square kilometers of deciduous scrub jungle and rocky hills, Bannerghatta National Park is one of India’s most vital wildlife corridors, serving as an elephant migratory passage linking the Eastern and Western Ghats. Located just 16 kilometers (a scenic 25-minute drive) from Mango Mist Resorts, it offers the ultimate wildlife day trip for families.

Combining a thrilling morning wildlife safari at Bannerghatta with an afternoon of poolside relaxation and dinner at Mango Mist creates an unforgettable weekend itinerary.

The 3 Main Attractions of Bannerghatta Biological Park

Plan your visit across these three world-class attractions:

• ·1. The Grand Jungle Safari (Non-AC and AC Buses): A 45-minute guided bus tour through secured natural enclosures where Bengal tigers, Asiatic lions, sloth bears, and Indian leopards roam freely among rocky boulders.
• ·2. The Butterfly Park & Conservatory: India’s first dedicated butterfly conservatory, featuring a 10,000-square-foot climate-controlled polycarbonate dome filled with lush nectar plants and over 48 vibrant butterfly species fluttering around you.
• ·3. The Zoological Garden: A shaded 12-hectare walking zoo housing Asiatic elephants, king cobras, marsh crocodiles, zebras, and rare exotic birds.

Ticketing and Timing Pro-Tips

To avoid massive weekend ticket queues, book your Safari and Zoo combo tickets online via the official Karnataka Forest Department portal at least 3 days in advance. Opt for the 9:30 AM first safari bus—animals are most active during morning feeding hours before retreating to shade.
