The Rani Bagh ("Queen's Garden"), previously Das Garden, is a zoological garden located in Hyderabad City, Sindh, Pakistan. The garden was re-christened in honour of Queen Victoria. It was established as a botanical garden in 1861 by the then Agro-horticultural Society and later animals were moved in.[1][2]
