History
Earlier the Udaipur zoo was located inside Gulab Bagh which is the biggest garden of Udaipur as a child I have visited that zoo often but in Gulab Bagh, the animals were caged in chambers and there was no natural enclosure, also it used to smell very bad, the later biological park was planned and all the animals were shifted to biological park. The wildlife department did a commendable job in designing the park. The park was inaugurated on 12 April 2015 by Prakash Javdekar, Minister of Environment and Forests, Gulab Chand Kataria, MLA Phoolchand Meena, MP Arjun Lal Meena, and Minister Rajkumar Riva.
