KBR National Park

KBR National Park, also known as Kasu Brahmananda Reddy National Park, is a protected green space in the heart of Hyderabad's upscale Jubilee Hills. Spanning over 400 acres, it is a haven for nature lovers, joggers, and birdwatchers. The park features well-maintained walking and cycling trails that wind through dry deciduous forest, dotted with ancient trees and rocky outcrops. Wildlife includes spotted deer, peacocks, monkeys, and a variety of bird species. The park's highlight is the Chiran Palace, a former royal residence now serving as a museum.
