The Tilyar Zoo at Rohtak is 42 km from Delhi border and the zoo is well maintained.[1][2] Fishing is permissible at Tilyar Lake after paying INR200 fishing fee.[3]
Haryana had many mini zoos spread across the state. In 2001 the Government of Haryana decided to shut these down and replace them with well developed viable zoos, this included setting up the zoo at Rohtak within Tilyar Lake complex.[4]
As a result, enclosures for housing animals and aviaries for birds were built. Visitor facilities such as landscaping, walkways and trials, gardens, hillocks, lakes, artificial waterfalls, cafe, visitor toilets and resting shelters, watch towers, drinking water facilities, etc. were created.[5]
The following animals have been housed in this zoo:[6]
