A treasure trove of biodiversity

Located amidst the Jubilee Hills and Banjara Hills of Hyderabad, an oasis of tranquillity beckons, where nature orchestrates its timeless symphony and wildlife thrives in perfect harmony.

Step into the enchanting embrace of Kasu Brahmananda Reddy Park, or KBR National Park. Established in 1998, this sanctuary, named after former Chief Minister Kasu Brahmananda Reddy, is one of Hyderabad's oldest national parks.

This park is a treasure trove of biodiversity, boasting an astonishing number of animals and plants, with approximately 600 plant species and over 100 bird species calling it home. Amidst the vibrant foliage, graceful deer, playful monkeys, and elusive reptiles may cross your path, creating unforgettable wildlife encounters. For butterfly lovers, too, KBR National Park is a veritable paradise. With about 30 species gracefully flitting through the air, the park transforms into a vibrant tapestry of colour and wonder.

Wander through the park's expansive 390 acres of lush greenery and be captivated by the breathtaking vistas of natural rock formations and a beautiful lake.

It is a perfect place to settle down for a delightful picnic and bask in the serenity of the tranquil environs. And while you're there, don't forget to get some great shots on your phone or camera!

Ancient palaces, bungalows and more

KBR National Park is believed to be part of the ancient Golconda Kingdom. Delve into its lush embrace to uncover hidden treasures, each echoing tales of a bygone era. Like the Chiran Palace, the prince and his family's residence is spread over 6,000 sq. metres. The entrance to Chiran Palace is not the same as the main gate of KBR National Park. The complex also includes other properties such as Gol Bungalow, Mor Bungalow, horses, elephants, and cattle stables, a petrol pump, wells and water tanks, and a motor khana.
