National Zoological Park, Delhi

This guide to the National Zoological Park in Delhi opens with the crowds who returned the morning after a young visitor named Maqsood Khan fell into a tiger enclosure here in September 2014, drawn to see the white tiger, Vijay, for themselves. It steps back to the zoo's founding in 1959 on ground designed by Carl Hagenbeck of Hamburg, deliberately placed between the ancient walls of Purana Qila and Humayun's Tomb. Look over your shoulder at the stone walls of Purana Qila before you move deeper into the park.
