About
Bannerghatta National Park is a national park in India, located In Bengaluru and Bengaluru South District, Karnataka. It was founded in 1970 and declared as a national park in 1974. In 2002, a small portion of the park became a zoological garden, the Bannerghatta Biological Park.
There are ancient temples in the park for worship and it is a destination for trekking and hiking. Within the national park area are six rural villages enclosed within three large enclosures for sheep and cattle farming. This park offers a wide range of diverse wildlife to the explorers. Coming from the finest of Bengaluru, Karnataka, this park offers a guided bus tour all along the 6 km safari roads, which is specially made for safaris and foreign tourist gatherers.
Between 1995 and 2021, the dry deciduous forests in the National Park shrank by approximately 44% due to uncontrolled diversion of forest land for agricultural purpose, urbanisation, etc.
