Trip to Van Vihar - Bhopal

I had been to Bhopal last week, and had a great time there. Was a very good break from the routine...

Here are a few memories...


The following pics are of Van Vihar - a Zoo, with open enclosures for animals. You are separated with deep moats, and barbed fences. But its so much better than cages...


The little guy had loads of fun...the weather was nice, there was no school to attend, and everyone was pampering him. :)


On second thoughts, the animals were outside the enclosures. There was this Bihari group, which could not spot the hyena, since it was sleeping. And to wake him up, they started throwing stones - not just small ones, but big ones which would have hurt and possibly killed too. Morons!

Another shocker was when watching the panther. There was this lady pointing the panther to her child, and saying " Dekkho beta, doggy...". I mean, if she had said kitty, that would have been still ok, but Doggy!!!??? :O

Very nice! We have "Wild Animal Park" in San Diego with the same concept: no cages, only open spaces. Planning to take Rian there in December. Shall post pics. Hubby may be proud owner of the 7D by then :D
