The park is located 25 kilometers from Hyderabad, covers about 3.60 Km2 and is home to more than 600 species of plants and animals. The park was officially recognized in 1994 and since then it has turned from just an ordinary animal sanctuary to a major tourist attraction.

A place of immense beauty
The park is like no other in India due to its abundance of immense natural resources and exotic beauty. The topography of the land consists of several rocky outcrops in keeping with the Deccan formation.  The pleasant tropical climate supports woodlands, grasslands and forests.

Fauna
