Open from 10 am to 5 pm.
Closed on Wednesdays
Also houses a Canteen
13 kms from Belagavi on the NH4 towards Kolhapur

The mini zoo at the Kittur Rani Chennamma Nisargadhama is gifted with nature’s bounty. The mini zoo situated 13 km from Belagavi city at Bhutramanhatti village on Pune-Bangalore National Highway is worth paying a visit. Even if a visitor is not really enthused with the few species of wild life housed there, one would relish and appreciate the calm, peaceful, serene, cool and pollution-free environment. Spread in over 32 hectares, the mini Zoo was started in 1989 and due to lack of funds and a desire from the authorities the said mini zoo was not much developed.

Deputy Conservator of Forests Girish Hosur had taken keen interest in developing this mini zoo and is trying to get grandeur to it. We all have grown up seeing the deers, Peacocks, rabbits at the Military Mahadev but the mini zoo is now developing and worth a visit.

New enclosures have been built at a cost of Rs. 40 lakh. A black buck enclosure and aviary are also ready.zoo 1

When have u seen a White peacock in Belagavi, now one can see it at the Mini zoo. The mini zoo has added 60 more birds of different species in its family, including White Peacock at Bhutramanahatti in Belgaum thanks to the Forest department.

    Going Forward Belgaum needs to have all kind of Tourist Attaraction and this Zoo can make a lot of difference to the City, hence needs to be developed more than that of Mysoe Zoo. AAB you are giving good information in all terms of the city. Keep covering all the news which is Good or Bad. Thank you again.

    In addition to the zoo the theme should include a bird section ,a Jurassic park section with models of ancient creatures ,Boating lake cum recreation centre with hotels likke mac donalds ,papa jhon etc. Even if the entrance tickets are a bit high it will attract a large crowd atleast in belgaum city.

    I recently visited the Chamarajendra Zoological Gardens of Mysore… Was really amazed to see the varieties of species there… I think the Kittur Rani Chennamma Nisargadhama can also be developed to that scale considering the geographical location of Belgaum..
