The Sakkarbaug (meaning ‘sugar garden’) Zoological Garden in Junagadh was opened in 1863. The second oldest zoo in India, it was founded by the Nawab Mohammad Mahabat Khanji II. Admission charges are low. The zoo covers a large area (198 hectares). The animal enclosures are spacious. Wide, sensibly laid-out paths ensure that visitors do not miss anything, and there are many shady trees.
Here are a few pictures that Adam Yamey, author of “Travels in Gujarat, Daman, and Diu”(available on Amazon and Bookdepository.com), took when he visited in early 2018:
GUJARAT, DAMAN, and DIU 
Sakkarbag zoo – Junagadh is one of the best Zoo of Gujarat. Ahmedabad Zoo is also good and whenever you must read about Reuben David(founder of zoo) It is said that Reuben used to meet Lion inside cage and without any protection. While visiting zoo, Visit Nocturnal Zoo which is next to Ahmedabad Zoo. https://myahmedabad.wordpress.com/2018/01/02/night-zoo-at-kankaria/
