The Nehru Zoological Park is 16 km away from Hyderabad and has been open to the public since 1963. It is close to the Mir Alam Tank, which is an important historical site. The 200-year-old tank was the world's first multi-arch brick dam.

One of the best places to visit in Hyderabad for sightseeing is the Nehru Zoological Park, one of India's biggest zoos. Telangana has a zoo called Jawaharlal Nehru Zoo. The Forest Department of the Government of Telangana runs it.

The Nehru Zoo Park is about 380 acres big and is home to almost 1,500 different kinds of birds, mammals, and animals. This zoo park has a lot of different kinds of animals, and it is thought to be the first one to keep animals in scientific order.
