A forest within the city - Guindy National Park, Chennai

It is unbelievable! Such a beautiful place with so much of flora and fauna! Indeed, it is located within the city limit. 

Yes! The National Park at Guindy in Chennai is one of a few forests situated within the city limit in entire nation of India. 

Besides housing varieties of plants and trees, the park also serves as the home for various animal species such as jackals, python, hyena, different types of deer, a wide variety of snakes and tortoises, birds and monkeys. The endangered blackbuck is one of the highlights of the park.

Guindy National Park is also known as Children’s park as it was started to provide children a natural environment. I believe the park has met the objective as it keeps educating them about animals and creating awareness on conservation for the past several years.

Go to this place, along with your children. You will enjoy your weekend for sure.

Happy travelling.
