Peshawar Zoo
Opened in 2018, this is the second-largest zoo in Pakistan. It houses a wide variety of animal species, providing a space for wildlife viewing and education within the city. Travelers visit to see the diverse collection of mammals, birds, and reptiles kept in its enclosures.
Getting There
The zoo is located within the city of Peshawar. From the city centre, it is most practical to use a ride-sharing app or a local rickshaw. Depending on traffic conditions, the journey typically takes 15 to 30 minutes.
Duration of Visit
Allow approximately 3 to 5 hours to walk through the grounds and view the different animal exhibits at a steady pace.
Planning Your Visit
The best time to visit is during the cooler months of winter or early spring to avoid the intense summer heat. Arriving early in the morning is recommended to see the animals when they are most active. The grounds can become crowded on weekends and public holidays.

- Sunehri Mosque (5.2km)
