Built into a green and wooded hillside, this is a caged Zoo of the old Menagerie type with very few open enclosures. Of particular interest to visitors is the semiwild Mithun Bison of the Nagas, to the left of the entrance. Also the beautiful golden langurs discovered by an India-based naturalist E.P. Gee, in this century, in the forested mountains of the Indo-Myanmarborder and named after him. Keen ornithologists might also want to see the rare Tragopan pheasant in its cage at the highest point in the Zoo. Open : Summer 9 to 1 1 AM and 1 Winter : 9 to 1 1 AM and 1 to 4 PM. Closed on Monday.
