Admission: Free

Kasu Brahmananda Reddy National Park is an urban protected park in Hyderabad, Telangana, named for the former chief minister Kasu Brahmananda Reddy. It functions as a significant green space within the city.

The area was set aside and later designated to protect remaining urban woodland and biodiversity while providing recreational space for Hyderabad residents; the park carries the name of a prominent regional political figure.

The park sits within the urban fabric of Hyderabad in Telangana, close to residential and commercial neighbourhoods, and is commonly accessed from nearby roads and local public transport.

• Urban green space: Located inside the Hyderabad metropolitan area, offering urban walking trails and birdwatching close to the city.
• Name and nature: Named after Kasu Brahmananda Reddy, a former chief minister; the park conserves remnant dry evergreen vegetation and urban wildlife.

Kasu Brahmananda Reddy (KBR) National Park sits inside Hyderabad’s Jubilee Hills / Banjara Hills area. By car or taxi it is about 8-10 km from Hyderabad city centre (roughly 20-30 minutes depending on traffic) via main city roads such as Jubilee Hills Road No. 1; from Rajiv Gandhi International Airport allow about 30-40 km and 40-60 minutes. The Hyderabad Metro’s Jubilee Hills Check Post station is the nearest rapid-transit stop - from there it’s a short taxi ride or roughly a 10-20 minute walk into the park; numerous local buses and app taxis also serve the Jubilee Hills / Road No.1 area.

• Go early on weekdays - dawn is when the park is quietest and bird activity is highest, so you'll see more wildlife and avoid the large weekend crowds common in this urban green space.
• If you want guided information or better birding leads, link up with local Hyderabad naturalist/birdwatching groups who run organized walks in the park; they know the best trails and seasonal hotspots.
• Be aware the park is an urban protected area with multiple public entrances and limited parking near peak times, so plan to arrive before 7:30 AM or use nearby public transport/taxi to avoid congestion.
