Top Nature Spots in West Bengal

While enjoying the greenery keep an eye out for street vendors. They sell tasty snacks at great prices. Just remember to check cleanliness before you buy!

If you're planning to take photos, I recommend visiting around 7 AM. The morning light is perfect and it's not too crowded yet. I wish I had gone earlier!

I think it's smart to bring a water bottle and some snacks. There aren't many food stalls around, plus you can save a few bucks!

Take a stroll around the area and check out the nearby attractions. I missed out on some cool spots because I was too focused on Maidan itself. Don't make the same mistake!

Try to visit on a weekday if you can - it's way less crowded than on weekends, and you can enjoy the animals without the rush

I suggest wearing comfy shoes; you’ll do a lot of walking. The pathways are pretty well laid out but can wear you out if you're not prepared.

If you have kids, definitely visit the zoo’s play area - it's a great spot for them to relax and enjoy some fun after walking around.

Bring your own snacks and water! The food inside is pricey, and sometimes not that great. I wish I had packed a picnic instead.

Don't miss the little art installations scattered around the park. I overlooked them at first, but they’re pretty cool and add character to the place.

My advice is to wear comfortable shoes. The park is larger than it seems, and you'll definitely do a lot of walking!

If you’re on a budget, look for local street food outside the park. I found some tasty chaat nearby that didn’t break the bank, way better than park prices!

I recommend checking the weather before you go. I got caught in a drizzle, and it dampened the fun. An umbrella could save your day.

My advice is to stick to the walking paths and avoid certain areas that can get muddy after rain... I'm telling you, I slipped and it wasn't fun!

I think an afternoon picnic is the way to go! Just pack some sandwiches and a mat, find a quiet spot under a tree, and relax. We did this and it was the highlight of our visit.

If you’re planning to hire a boat, go for it. But do it before 4 PM. It gets too hot later on and the experience will be less enjoyable, trust me.

If you love nature, bring some bird feed along! The little birds come to you, and it's such a delightful experience. Just a small bunch can keep them around for a while.

Consider getting the combo ticket if you’re planning to see more than one show. It’ll save you some cash compared to buying individual tickets each time. I grabbed one and it was totally worth it!

Check the schedule for the dome shows ahead of time! I missed a couple of cool ones just because I didn’t plan properly. It’s worth the effort to catch the highlights.

If you can, try to visit on a weekday. The crowds are way lighter, and you’ll get more time to enjoy the shows without feeling rushed. I made the mistake of going on a weekend and it was packed!
