Machia Biological Park
माचिया जैविक उद्यान
A desert wildlife park on the shore of Kaylana Lake, where you can see Indian foxes, nilgai, desert cats and other Thar Desert species.
Machia Biological Park lies within the Machia hunting reserve on the east side of Kaylana Lake and opened to the public in 2016. It mainly displays captive animals native to the Thar Desert and Rajasthan, including lions, leopards, hyenas, Indian foxes, desert cats, blackbucks, nilgai and many species of birds. There is a viewing tower overlooking Kaylana Lake and the sunset. The park is closed on Tuesdays. Entry is inexpensive. A walk through the park takes about 1.5 hours, and visiting early in the morning or late in the afternoon helps you avoid the heat.
