Detailed Insights
On July 6 2025 the Haryana administration announced the project, outlining a 10,000‑acre tract tucked in the Aravalli range to become the flagship destination for visitors.
The safari will house a multitude of mammals, birds and flora, all safeguarded in their natural habitats while visitors experience the ecosystem through guided tours, observation decks and interactive exhibits.
Construction will adhere to stringent environmental bylaws; renewable energy, zero‑waste policies and minimal deforestation will underpin the development, ensuring the landscape remains pristine.
To shape the blueprint, the state’s Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini, Union Minister Manohar Lal and Environment Minister Rao Narbir Singh toured the Vantara Wildlife Facility in Jamnagar, Gujarat, adopting its best practices for animal care and visitor management.
Beyond conservation, the endeavour is projected to generate employment for local youth across guiding, hospitality, wildlife monitoring and ancillary services, fostering a symbiotic relationship between community wellbeing and nature.
