Rajasthan Forest Department lists Katti Ghati Biological Park, Alwar, among its upcoming biological parks, positioned as a landmark project for wildlife conservation, animal rescue, and eco-tourism in the National Capital Region (NCR) proximity. The proposed park will be developed on approximately 100 hectares of land between Kati Ghati and Jaisamand, with only about one-third of the total area used for animal enclosures and visitor facilities, while the majority will remain under green cover to preserve natural habitats. More than 400 animals representing 81 species are planned to be housed, including flagship species such as lions, cheetahs, and different subspecies of tigers native to India. The park will feature multiple safari zones within a single complex — including lion safaris, tiger safaris, and herbivore safaris — making it the first such integrated safari complex in the NCR region, allowing visitors to experience diverse wildlife without travelling to different locations. Key infrastructure will include a specialised animal rescue centre and a modern veterinary hospital equipped with advanced medical treatment facilities staffed by trained wildlife veterinarians. The park is envisaged to fulfil dual objectives: serving as a conservation and education hub while also driving wildlife tourism in the Alwar region, which already benefits from proximity to the Sariska Tiger Reserve. The project fits within Rajasthan Chief Minister Bhajan Lal Sharma's broader agenda of wildlife conservation and eco-tourism development.
