Gurugram To Get “World’s Largest Safari”, Park To Cover Over 10,000 Acres
According to a statement released by the state government today, Haryana will create the largest forest safari park in the world in the Aravalli range.
The Gurugram and Nuh districts will be covered by the 10,000-acre safari park. The statement read, “This initiative will be the largest such endeavour in the world.”
At present, Sharjah is home to the largest curated safari park outside Africa. Opened in February 2022, the Sharjah Safari encompasses an area of around 2,000 acres.
“The proposed Aravalli park would be five times more this size and it would include a large herpetarium (a zoological exhibition space for reptiles and amphibians), aviary/bird park, four zones for big cats, a large area for herbivores, an area for exotic animal birds, an underwater world, nature trails, visitors, tourism zones, botanical gardens, biomes, equatorial, tropical, coastal, desert, etc,” the government said in the statement.
In this regard, Sharjah Safari was visited by Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar and Union Minister for Forest, Environment, and Climate Change Bhupender Yadav, according to the state government.
Manohar Khattar reached Dubai on a day’s visit on Wednesday. Mr. Khattar claimed the NCR region of Haryana had enormous potential for the creation of a jungle safari upon his return on Thursday.
According to him, the Jungle Safari plan will increase tourists while simultaneously giving locals job chances.
