Within its area, the Bondla sanctuary houses a rose garden, botanical garden, deer safari park and a zoo, originally established as a refuge for wounded or orphaned animals. The zoo provides a glance of the animal species found in the sanctuary. The botanical garden holds a great variety of exotic plants. The Nature Education Center here is an attempt to bring people close to nature. The library of the center screens video and movies for tourists.The Forest Department has set up tourist cottages at the entrance of the Bondla Wildlife Sanctuary to facilitate accommodation to those wanting to spend a night or two. These cottages are ordinary but well maintained. There is also a restaurant that provides simple, tasty food. It is advisable to book the cottages in advance, especially if you are planning your visit on a weekend or public holiday. The Bondla Wildlife Sanctuary remains closed on Thursdays.
