Himalayan Foothills

A 45-minute tram ride takes guests through three continents - Asia, Africa and South America.

As the tram moves off from the entrance station, the rocky outcrops of the Himalayan Foothills come into view. Natural boulders and glass-fibre reinforced concrete are used to recreate the terrain of the lower Himalayan region which features gorges, cliffs and grassy meadows.

The bharal is also known as blue sheep, named because of the bluish tinge on the coats of adult males. This animal is found mainly in Tibet, at elevations of 3,500-5,500 metres.

The Himalayan tahr is a very sure-footed animal and is able to conquer steep mountain slopes at elevations of up to 4,000 metres. Adult males have magnificent shoulder and neck manes.

Considered the "King of Wild Goats", the markhor is the largest goat in the world. It has unique horns which twist into a spiral resembling a cork screw, hence its other name, screw goat.
