5. Bannerghatta National Park:
Park hours are 9am to 5pm. Avoid the Sunday rush or go to the zoo early around 9.30am. Avoid hours after 3pm - you probably won't have enough time to see everything you might like to see. Best visited when less crowded. Eat full breakfast before start your trip. If you're ok with junk food...plenty is available at this site. Carry bottled water.
The cost of the tickets vary from Rs.35 to Rs.100 depending on the day and type of visit - weekends are higher by approx. Rs. 10-25 for the visits. The combinations include Zoo visit, Tiger+Lion Safar, Grand Safari (most popular) etc. Expats/Non-Indians pay twice the ruppees as would an Indian.
Camera fee is Rs. 20 and Video Camera is Rs. 110 (you may not want to do this).
There is butterfly conservatory near the zoo (2 mins walking distance). The cost of the ticket is Rs. 20 in addition to the zoo fees.
Do the safari tour first, then visit the zoo. Animals most commonly spotted during the safari are deer, bear, bison (not staged); tigers (staged/caged). Bus windows have grills (criss/cross wired), for safety reasons, which would obstruct the view for taking photographs and video shooting.
