Not worth time or money

This is not worth your time or money. Total of 10-11 crocodiles/Ghariyals. They dont give info about them as well, charge you 100 rs per person.

Leisurely stroll

If you haven't seen a crocodile up close and has a very strong urge to see them then you can surely visit this place. There were only 6 crocodiles there and the fee was ?100 per head and I didn't feel..

Not recommended

It's a boring place to visit. The place is not maintained at all . The charges are 100 Rs per person. But nothing much to see inside. Few crocodiles are there.. so not at all happy to visit.
