The tree section is huge variety of trees are present …..
A place with lots of green. Don't expect to see much else you would be very disappointed. Mostly caged birds are available for seeing. Although you have a place for crocodiles but you will need some luck to spot them. Avoid summer time. Parking is available only for few cars at a fixed rate of Rs. 20.
Ramnabagan Mini Zoo in the Ramnabagan Wildlife Sanctuary spread over an area of 14.31 hectares is in Mouza Baburbag in Burdwan. This forest patch is under the control of Divisional Forest Officer, Burdwan Division who acts as Ex-Officio Director of the Zoo. The area was declared as reserved forest in 1960.
In 1978, the area had been converted to a deer park with the introduction of six spotted deer. Subsequently, the whole area has been declared a wildlife sanctuary. Later on, subsequently a mini Zoo was approved by Central Zoo Authority within the Wildlife Sanctuary area. This Zoo has been renamed as Bardhaman Zoological Park and it has been recognized as a Small Category Zoo.
Ramnabagan forest, with its tall and stately teak and sal forest having mesophytic associates like kadbels (Limonia acidissima), dumur (Ficus racemosa), jam (Syzygium cumini), etc., is a solace from the din and bustle of urban life.
The area is in the municipal limits of Burdwan town and is about 3 km from Burdwan Railway station to the west. It is about 4 km from G.T. Road (N.H.2) on Burdwan-Durgapur stretch of Durgapur Expressway. It is well connected with G.T Road by Sukumar Sen Road that meets G.T Road at Golapbag crossing. There is a good network of approach roads all along the periphery of the zoo.
Burdwan is well connected with all the major junctions of Eastern Railway. Local trains ply between Howrah and Burdwan at regular intervals. One can also avail buses which run frequently from all the major bus terminals at Kolkata.
