The Central Zoo

The mainly reason to ever visit this zoo is to get in a quick elephant ride. Of all the places in Nepal where you can ride one, this is the cheapest at only Rs100 ($1.50) per ride. If you want to take an elephant for a spin around town, you can even hire one for the reasonable fee of Rs1,000 ($15.15) per hour. The zoo itself is an incredibly depressing place, with animals kept in small, dirty, cement-floored cages.
