下午 01:00 左右,我们去了湖畔的卡特拉吉公园。我们买了自制食物,并在公园的露天区域享用了野餐午餐。孩子们玩得很开心。这是晚上放松的好地方。吃完午饭后,在公园里放松了一会儿,然后前往卡特拉吉耆那教寺庙。我们在那里呆了一个多小时,最后在傍晚回到家。如果您想计划,这是完美的一日游计划。

2. 该动物园于 1997 年开始建设,1999 年向公众开放,当时仅包括爬行动物公园、猴子、鹿和水鹿。转移所有动物花费了相当长的时间,这个过程一直持续到 2005 年。最终,任务完成,Peshwa 公园关闭,并将整个 132 英亩的区域更名为拉吉夫·甘地动物园。
2. 浦那动物园占地 130 英亩。这个动物园分为四个区域。第一个区域是蛇园,非常靠近主入口。第二个区域是主动物园区域,您可以步行或购买电动车票参观。第三个区域是卡特拉杰湖区域,第四个区域是动物孤儿院区域。
