The facility was established to provide a controlled environment for large cats, primarily focusing on tiger rehabilitation and public observation.
It is situated on the banks of the Buddha Nullah, a seasonal stream that runs through the Ludhiana district.
The park provides a rare instance of a tiger safari experience in an urban setting within the state of Punjab.
The Ludhiana Zoo Tiger Safari, officially known as the Tiger Safari Zoo in Bhattian, serves as a local wildlife facility on the outskirts of Ludhiana. The park features an enclosed area designed for viewing tigers and various other species in a semi-natural outdoor environment. Visitors primarily explore the grounds on designated safari vehicles that traverse the tiger enclosure. The facility focuses on conservation and education, providing a space for observing rescued or captive animals. It serves as a green buffer zone within the rapidly urbanizing region of Punjab. The site is maintained by the Punjab state wildlife department.
