It has different and expansive species of plants, birds, insects, vertebrae, and bats.

The city can be accessed via the airways from different cities far and beyond, or rail. Those who prefer to drive can also access the city perfectly well too. Public transport in this area is not so reliable since just a few buses are available on the main route. Renting a car in the city is a good idea too.
