Lonely Planet review for Zoo
Nepal’s only zoo is in the southwestern part of Patan by the Jawalakhel roundabout. Although there is definitely room for improvement, the animals live in better conditions than you might expect and there are always crowds of local kids being wowed by such exotic creatures as elephants, tigers, leopards, hyenas, guar, deer, blue bulls, gharials, giant tortoises, langur monkeys and some very noisy hippos. Stoners routinely get freaked out by the giant 60cm-long squirrels.
