In a major push to establish Asia’s largest jungle safari in Haryana, the design for the first phase of the ambitious 10,000-acre project has been finalised by the Forest Department and presented to key Union and State ministers. The safari, spread across Gurgaon and Nuh districts, is set to become a world-class conservation and tourism destination, modeled on Sharjah Safari, Vantara in Jamnagar, and Gujarat’s Gir Sanctuary.
