Gir National Park Gir Somnath

About Place

About The Location: This forested, hilly, 1412-sq-km sanctuary about halfway between Veraval and Junagadh is the last refuge of the Asiatic lion (Panthera leopersica). Taking a safari through the thick, undisturbed forests is a joy – even without the added excitement of spotting lions, other wildlife and myriad bird species. Access to the sanctuary is by safari permit only, bookable in advance online .

https://girlion.gujarat.gov.in/GirJungleTrailBooking.aspx

If you miss out on a permit, your other option for lion encounters is at the Devalia Safari Park, a fenced-off part of the sanctuary where sightings are guaranteed but more stage-managed. The sanctuary’s 37 other mammal species, most of which have also increased in numbers, include dainty chital (spotted deer), sambar (large deer), nilgais (blue bull / large antelopes), chousinghas (four-horned antelopes), chinkaras (gazelles), crocodiles and rarely seen leopards. The park is a great destination for birders too, with more than 300 bird species, most of the residents. While the wildlife has been lucky, more than half the sanctuary’s human community of distinctively dressed maldhari (herders) have been resettled elsewhere, ostensibly because their cattle and buffalo were competing for food resources with the antelopes, deer, and gazelles, while also being preyed upon by the lions and leopards. About 1000 people still live in the park, however their livestock accounts for about a quarter of the lions diet.

Twelve kilometers west of Sasan Gir village at Devalia, within the sanctuary precincts, is the Gir Interpretation Zone, better known as simply Devalia. The 4.12-sq-km fenced-off compound is home to a cross-section of Gir wildlife. Chances of seeing lions and leopards here are guaranteed, with 45-minute bus tours departing along the trails hourly. You may also see foxes, mongoose, and blackbuck – the latter being lion fodder.

Brief History : The sanctuary was set up in 1965, and a 259-sq-km core area was declared as a national park in 1975. Since the late 1960s, lion numbers have increased from less than 200 to 674 (Census 2020).

Best time to visit: in winter from November to March.

Gir National Park: A safari guide’s tips on the best time to visit, hotels, permits

By Shradha Shahani

Just minutes after the first ray of sun hit Gir National Park, we spot our first lioness standing tall on the dirt track—her mane a lustrous gold. She disappears into the bushes and our jeep moves an inch to catch a glimpse of her again. She is joined by her cubs; one rolls over her stomach, the other tugs her ear. She licks them as they cosy up against her. By now, at least eight jeeps have surrounded this sight. The clicking cameras and whispers don’t faze them. They are comfortable with human company. “That’s the best part about lions. Unlike tigers, they are sociable animals. They walk alongside jeeps and are spotted with their family. It’s a joy watching them,” says Mahida.

Last November, we were lucky to spot a lioness on two out of three safaris. While a lot depends on luck, there are various factors that can make or break your safari experience, from the slot you pick to the proximity of your hotel to the gate. Prakash Mahida , who has been working at the park for nearly 14 years, shares all the insider information so you have the best sightings on your next trip to Gir National Park.

What makes Gir National Park special?

Gir National Park in Gujarat is India's last remaining home to Asiatic lions. The park is home to nearly 600 lions and the Gujarat government takes pride in the initiatives taken to grow the population of lions in the region since its decline due to hunting in the 19th century.

Unlike tigers and leopards who are solitary, lions are social animals. They are the only big cats to live in family units that are known as prides. A pride can include up to three males, a dozen females and their cubs. Lions are also territorial and each male reigns over kilometres of Gir. If you spot a lioness, chances are high that you won’t spot one alone, making the experience all the more exciting. In 2021, Mahida spotted 22 lions on a single safari route. “We were driving through route two at dawn. At first, we saw two males cross the road. As we drove a little further, we spotted nearly five lions, seven lionesses and a litter of cubs. We could see cubs rolling over on their backs, jumping on their mothers and playing with each other. It looked like a scene straight out of The Lion King,” says Mahida.

Over the years, lions have become almost comfortable in the company of humans visiting the national park. So, you won’t just spot lions ambling through the forest or taking shade under a tree, but also get to witness some of the most intimate moments of their lives.

What to spot at Gir National Park?

Mahida says the key to a great lion spotting is to listen to what the forest is telling you. Trackers and guides keep their eyes and ears peeled for fresh pug marks, a sambal’s warning and also the call of a scavenger bird. While the lion is the star attraction of the park, the dry and deciduous forests of Gir are home to a host of other animals such as the sambar (the largest Indian deer), chowsingha (the world’s only four-horned antelope), Indian fox, jackal, striped hyena and the black buck.

The national park also has nearly 425 species of birds and is the habitat of critically endangered white-backed and long-billed vultures, the Egyptian vulture, the greater-spotted eagle and the endangered Palla’s fish eagle. While driving through the park, keep your eyes peeled for the Asian paradise flycatcher, the red-breasted flycatcher and the fantail.

What's the best time to go to Gir National Park?

The best time to visit Gir National Park is in March, says Mahida. This is when the winter is just starting to fade and the summer hasn’t set in yet. The forest begins to dry up, and lions and other animals are forced to visit the manmade ponds in the park. While the peak summer (April and May) is great for sightings, the mercury tips over 40°C and is not favourable for sightseeing. Mahida says this is a good time for wildlife photographers to visit the park. The winter months of November to February are pleasant, however, it’s important to be patient during your safaris, as the greenery and low visibility could make it difficult to track animal movement.

How many safaris should you do during a 3-night stay?

Mahida recommends at least three-four safaris during your stay, alternating between the morning and afternoon slots. Rest on the day of your arrival. Pick a morning slot on one day, an afternoon on the other, and an evening on the third for the most diverse sightings. Keep some buffer time right before your departure as the park is over three hours from the airport.

What are the best safari slots at Gir National Park?

Gir National Park offers three safari slots—two in the morning and one in the afternoon. “Lions are most active early in the morning. So, if you want to spot them ambling through the forest or playing with their cubs, pick the 6.30am slot. The mid-morning slot is good for leopard sightings because they come out when the lion starts to rest. And in the afternoon slot, you are likely to spot lions resting,” says Mahida.

The timings vary as per season. Here are the slots:

Winter (16 October to 28 February) - 6.30am to 9.30am; 9:30am to 12:30pm; 3pm to 6pm. Summer (1 March to 15 June) - 6am to 9am; 9am to 12pm; 4pm to 7pm.

How to book a safari permit at Gir and how much does it cost?

The permit can be purchased from the official Gujarat government website. Permits get sold out very quickly, so Mahida advises booking them at least 60 to 90 days in advance. A permit for a safari costs Rs1,000; there’s also a per-guest entry charge of Rs200.

How to book a jeep and guide at Gir?

The permit does not include the jeep and guide charges. The hotel you’re staying at can arrange for a jeep and a pick-up from the hotel about 30 minutes before the gates open. The jeep costs Rs3,000, whereas a guide comes at an additional cost of Rs400. The guide is assigned by the park authorities once you present your permit at the gate. However, if you wish, you can pick your own guide at an additional cost.

Which zones are the best at Gir National Park?

Unlike many national parks in India, Gir does not follow a zone system. The park has 13 routes, and to ensure they are not overburdened with too many jeeps, the route is assigned to the guide at the time of entry. However, trackers do keep an eye out for pug marks, the alert call of a sambal or a scavenger bird to get a sense of the best route to spot a lion.

What are the best hotels in Gir?

If an early morning safari is on your list, Gir Serai - IHCL SeleQtions (doubles from Rs13,000; website ) is your best bet at making it in time. The hotel is less than a five-minute drive from the main gate. While the 38 rooms are basic, they come with all mod-cons. The restaurant offers a taste of the local Kathiawadi cuisine, and on every Saturday guests are treated to a Mashira Nritya performance by the tribal Afro-Indian Siddi community. If luxury is on your mind, and a 20-minute drive to the gate is not a deterrent, head to Aramness Gir (doubles from Rs1,02,000; website ) . The 18 kothis are double-storey suites and come with bathtubs, outdoor showers, shaded courtyards, first-floor verandahs and swimming pools inspired by the stepwells of Gujarat. At Woods at Sasan (doubles from Rs29,000; website ) , the experience goes beyond the lion and jeep safari. There’s birdwatching at dawn (try spotting the 300 avian species found here), lunches cooked over a wood fire in the jungle, rail journeys through forests and a vintage car ride to the Hiran River at teatime. After a long day out, unwind at Som Spa, which offers yoga sessions and Ayurvedic treatments. Also, a 20-minute drive from the gate is The Postcard Gir (doubles from Rs32,000; website ) , a 15-key boutique property surrounded by mango orchards. When you’re not busy spotting lions, the folks at the property will arrange for picnics, leisurely nature walks or a trip to Diu.

Besides jeep drives, what else can you do in Gir?

For visitors who don’t manage to spot a big cat in the wild, the gypsy safari at Devalia National Park (a 20-minute drive from the main park) guarantees a sighting. The park is an enclosed sanctuary for lions, leopards, foxes, mongooses and blackbucks that roam freely within this space. Unlike Gir, tickets to Devalia can be booked on the spot.

Somnath Temple, which sits by the Arabian Sea, is an hour’s drive from the national park. The temple is steeped in history and is believed to be the place where the first of the twelve jyotirlingas dedicated to Lord Shiva appeared. Catch the sound-and-light show that illuminates the temple every day at 7.45pm.

One can also explore the ancient city of Junagadh, which houses Emperor Ashoka’s rock edicts from the third century BC and a unique blend of Indo-Islamic, British and Gothic architecture. About a 2.5-hour drive away, numerous 12th-century Jain temples sit on the 3,300-foot mountain of Girnar. Woods at Sasan Gir organises a host of activities, including guided birdwatching walks to sight a few of the many 300 species in Gir. You can also get a taste of the village life with a meter-gauge railway journey that takes you through the forests of Sasan to Kansiya Nes, home to the Maldhari or the herdsmen community of Gujarat. At lunchtime, the hotel hosts a meal in the forests where you can try local delicacies hot off a wood fire, and come dinner time, feast on barbeque under a starry night sky.

How to get to Gir National Park?

The closest airport to Gir National Park is Rajkot Airport, which is a four-hour drive. The closest railway stations to the park are Junagadh and Veraval, which is about a two-hour drive from the park. Rajkot station is a three-hour drive.

Sasan Gir Safari – Gir National Park Lion Safari, Gujarat, India

Sasan Gir Safari is one of the most incredible of wildlife experiences. Coming face to face with the Asiatic Lion in the Gir National Park is thrilling.

Sasan Gir Safari is one of the most incredible of wildlife experiences. Coming face to face with the Asiatic Lion in the Gir National Park, Gujarat India is thrilling.

“ Don’t make any body movements “! was the staccato command issued by our guide Siddi Bapu. The six of us in the open jeep froze in our skins. Coming straight towards us was a full-grown lion. Not a muscle in our bodies twitched, as we watched transfixed. The lion came nearer and nearer. As he drew nearer, the embodiment of leonine beauty and grace mesmerized us.

As he walked, each leg rising and falling on the ground with perfect precision in a fluid movement, the jungle itself serenaded him. It was like the hero making his entry in a Bollywood film. He walked to the background music of crows and other birds striking up a racket. Our Sasan Gir Safari in Gujarat , India was surely turning to be the stuff of dreams, we thought in elation.

Read on to know more about our encounter with the King of the Jungle on our Sasan Gir Lion Safari. This Sasan Gir Safari travel blog will also provide all the information needed to plan an exciting visit to the wildlife sanctuary including details about Gir National Park entry fees, Gir Safari booking, Gir Safari rates, Gir National Park timings , and much more.

Sasan Gir Safari – Cavorting With Lions

The winter season ensured that there was a nip in the air as we drove past some wheat fields bathed in golden morning light towards the Reception Centre of the Gir National Park to begin our Gir Jungle Safari. We were really optimistic about sighting the big cat in what is the last home of the Asiatic Lion.

There is nothing that can beat the pleasure of watching wildlife in their natural environment, the thrill is unique, be it meeting mountain gorillas face-to-face in Africa, or catching the glimpse of the Royal Bengal tiger at the Pench National Park, or visiting any of the Wildlife sanctuaries in India . As we drove into the Reception Centre we had only one thing on our minds, Lions!

The Reception Centre is where we picked up our guide Siddhi Bapu.

He belonged to the Siddi community that trace their ancestry to East Africa. In India, this community is found in regions of Gujarat, Karnataka , and Andhra Pradesh. Siddi Bapu informed us that his ancestors were from Nigeria. However, they have no connections with Nigeria now. They are fully integrated into the local culture and follow local customs.

Chatting with our guide we left the Sinh Sadan where the Reception Centre of Gir National Park is located and drove a few kilometres to reach the gate that led into the Gir National Park. We had been allotted Route No. 4 and the gate through which we entered the Park was common for routes 2, 4, 6, 9, 11, and 12. There is a different entry gate for the other routes. There is a total of 13 routes from which each Safari jeep gets allocated one.

The sunlight pierced through the overhanging branches of the trees. We drove behind the brown cloud of dust blown by the jeep in front. Our guide regaled us with stories of Lions, he told us about the 2020 Lion census that was coming up. He also told us about celebrity visitors with whom he had guided during the Lion Safari.

“ Amitabh Bachhan had to do 3 Safaris before he could get a lion sighting,” said Siddi Bapu with a sardonic smile playing on his lips. He then went on to narrate an incident where a foreigner failed to get a Lion sighting even after camping there for a couple of weeks and going on numerous Lion Safaris!

Was he subtly preparing us for disappointment? Were we destined to return empty-handed? Or would we get lucky on our first safari itself? These were the questions that hummed through our minds as we drove deeper into the teak wood laden Gir forest in search of Lions.

A movement in the bushes to our right caught our attention. They turned out to be a small herd of docile deer glancing shyly at us. Their serene composure was testimony to the absence of any Lion in the vicinity.

We crossed a rivulet and the Guide informed us that the water was the home of crocodiles, though we did not spot any. Probably, they were spread languorously on the rocks behind basking in the sun.

A cute little bird drank water from a small stream as a couple of trees threw their shadows in the water. It was a picture of serenity. Everything seemed calm in the jungle. Things seemed to be in perfect harmony, the only jarring effect perhaps was our presence.

A sounder of wild boars made their way noiselessly in the shadows. We came upon a small clearing in the path. It was then that we saw the Lion.

In the distance, straight in front of us a Lion crossed the track and sat down beside it. There were two jeeps in front of us and we were still quite a distance from it.

The jeeps had stopped in their tracks. It was clear that now it was going to be a game of waiting.

The lion sat gazing towards the path and was soon joined by another Lion who too crossed the path and sat next to the first lion.

We were delighted! We had been able to sight not one but two lions. But alas! they were quite far off. The two lions are male and are siblings informed our guide, they are 3.5 years old and control a wide territory, he added.

“Reverse”! on hearing this, our jeep started retreating in reverse, so did the other two jeeps. It became clear why this was done very soon. One of the lions stood up and started walking along the path, straight towards us.

This was when Siddi Bapu issued his stern command, “Don’t make any body movements”!

The Lion sauntered towards the front jeeps, crossed them and slowly, with a typical, “devil may care”, attitude walked past us. It passed from the right side of our jeep and disappeared into the woods. Even as we looked in amazement at the leonine grace of the big cat retreating into the jungle, it dawned on us that there was another big cat behind us!

As we turned back towards the point where the two Lions had been sitting, we saw the second Lion too following the footprints of his brother Lion, but with a difference.

The second Lon moved towards our left flank. He walked towards the trees and then took a slight turn and came straight towards our jeep. We could literally hear his breathing and are sure he would have heard the loud thumping of our hearts.

Our eyes met for a fraction of a second, and he was gone in a flash of golden glory. The mand on his lithe body glistening in the sunlight, his limbs moving in rhythmic perfection, a gait that would be the envy of any supermodel. He too walked away along the path, took a left turn and disappeared behind his brother into the woods.

There was absolute silence for a few moments, as we all soaked in and absorbed the intensity of what had just happened. And then all hell broke loose, excited chatter erupted in the jeep and the guide had to warn everyone to be silent as moved ahead into the Gir National Park.

But for most of us, our purpose for visiting the Gir National Park had been served. We were thrilled out of our wits.

About Gir National Park

The Gir National Park is the last home of the Asiatic Lion. It is home to the Asiatic lions formerly categorized as Panthera Leo Persica and now having the scientific name Panthera Leo Leo. It is an endangered species. Lion in their free environment can only be seen in the Gir National Park in India or in the jungles of Africa .

In Asia, excessive hunting and habitat loss over the years has ensured that now the lions are restricted to the tiny region of the Gir National Park. As per the last lion census that was carried out in 2015, there are 523 lions in the Gir National Park, which was a substantial increase over the previous census. A Lion census is carried out every 5 years and hence the next census is due in the year 2020.

Totally the Gir National Park is spread over an area of about 1412 sq. Kilometres . The region is basically a Teak forest. Apart from Teak trees, there are over 132 other dry deciduous tree species. The Gir National Park is home to over 500 plant species.

In terms of Fauna, the Gir National Park is home to more than 38 different species of mammals, more than 35 species of reptiles, and more than 300 species of birds . Apart from the Lion other animals that call Gir National Park their home is, Leopard, Hyena, Jackal, Jungle Cat, Chital, Sambar, Nilgai, Chinkara, Wild Boar, Marsh Crocodile, and others.

The birds that fly over the Gir National Park include the likes of the Brown Fish Owl, Red-Headed Vulture, Bonelli’s Eagle, Indian Vulture, Crested Serpent Eagle, Asian Paradise Flycatcher, Mottled Wood Owl, and many more. There are many migratory birds in Gir National Park also.

Beautiful Landscapes of Gir National Park

Yes, the sighting of wild animals is why most of us visit the forests and National Parks. But apart from this the sheer natural beauty that the landscapes offer is a treasure in itself. The Gir National Park too has a pristine and wild beauty that is so endearing.

In the summer months, the forest is dry, but after the rainy season, the streams and watering holes are full, the trees topped with a green cover, and the animals at their happiest. We visited during the winter months and loved the spectacle that unveiled before us as we embarked upon our Gir National Park Safari.

The teak forests presented a beautiful sight as we weaved through the narrow path that cut across the jungle. The terrain is made up of rocky hills of volcanic origin, and water natural water bodies. Water from seven rivers flows into the Gir forest area. These are the Hiran, Saraswati, Datardi, Shinghoda, Raval, Ghodavadi, and Macchundri. To conserve the waters of these rivers four dams have been constructed.

We drove across a beautiful stretch of road that ran parallel to the waters of the Hiran river, close to the Kamleshwar Dam. There is a tall observation tower here that offers spectacular and panoramic views of the Gir National Park.

Wow! What an incredible experience! Life is so funny, you sign up for something that could be dreamy, start to get concerned it won’t happen for you, then get the best experience possible. I’m very jealous and this is going on my list!

It was good that your guide set your expectations about the possibility of not seeing lions. We have had luck on our safaris. But have talked to others that were not so lucky. I do know that feeling you got when you saw a lion on the road you were travelling. So thrilling to watch them walk past. And hoping they ignore you! What a great experience you had.

Oh my goodness! Your description in the beginning was so vivid – I felt like I was right there with you. And you’re right – seeing wild animals in their natural habitat really is beautiful and mesmerizing. What a lovely memory – and such gorgeous creatures.

I can only imagine what this experience must have been like for you! How lucky to have had such a close encounter with the lions–and I’m so glad they kept walking past. They sure made their point, didn’t they? I hung on each word of this story, waiting to learn what would happen in the next moment. Thrilled to see the video of the whole experience, too. Thanks for sharing this exciting moment, as well as all of the other helpful tips about Gir National Park. I’m a huge wildlife fan, so I hope one day to see it for myself.

I’ve never been on a safari before, so for me this is very interesting information. Having such an up-close encounter with the lions must be exciting, but quite intimidating. I had no idea that you can go on a safari two-three times in a row and not see what you came to see. That guy must have been really unlucky. Gir National Park will definitely go up on my list of places to see in India.

A safari is one thing I really would love to do one day but I am just waiting for my two younger children to be a little bit older, but when we do, its going to be amazing. I would love to be as close to the lions like you were. Just to see them staring at you (peacefully I may add) is an experience which you will never forget and this is something I would like to add to my life experiences.

Your experience reminded me of the time many years back when I have faced a number of lions during our open jeep safari in South Africa. It’s quite an experience. Haven’t been to Gir but got a feel through your experience.

that was such an amazing experience. the only time I got to experience a ‘safari’ was when we visited the cebu safari adventure park. It’s not really in the wild. we got to see white lions but it would be amazing if we could see them in the wild too.

Great post!! I have never paid much attention to the wildlife in Gujarat and it seems pretty amazing. The lions in Gujarat seems a bit different than the African lions. I would love to give wildlife in Gujarat a try too.

Wow what an incredible experience and I am glad, unlike your tour guides previous client, you actually got to see lions! I’m yet to go on a safari or even to India so this was very interesting reading. Thanks for sharing your experience 🙂

Thanks for sharing such an informative post about Sasan Gir safari. After reading your entire page thing I liked most is adding an FAQ in the end. Thanks once again.

History of Gir National Park

Once, the expanse that now cradles the Sasan Gir National Park served as the hunting grounds for the British during their reign in India. They pursued the colossal lions and tigers with fervour, wearing their hunts as badges of honour. The year 1899 witnessed a stark decline in the lion population within the Gir forest, attributed to a ravaging famine. In response, Lord Curzon called off his planned hunting excursion to Gir and fervently appealed to the local residents to safeguard the remaining lion populace.

Over time, the Indian Government imposed a ban on hunting and killing in 1960. This intervention heralded a resurgence in the Gir lion population, which thrives under 24x7 surveillance today, accessible solely through captivating photo safaris. This very sanctuary, the Gir National Park, now boasts the accolade of Asia's most safeguarded wildlife haven. The inception of a lion breeding initiative brought forth an augmentation of approximately 180 lions across the park and its adjacent regions.

Vivid Wildlife in the Sanctuary: A Glimpse into the Gir Lion Park

Nestled within Gujarat, the Gir lion park extends a captivating invitation to wildlife enthusiasts, granting them the privilege to observe the majestic Asiatic lions roam freely and securely. The park encompasses a rich biodiversity, harbouring around 2,375 distinct species of fauna. Within this realm, one encounters a tapestry of life, including nearly 38 varieties of mammals, a myriad of insects spanning over 2,000 types, 37 diverse reptile species, and an astonishing assortment of 300 bird species.

The verdant confines are inhabited by a vibrant assembly of herbivores, such as the Nilgai, Chital, Wild boar, Four-horned Chinkara, Sambar, and the graceful Antelope. Moreover, the peripheries of the park offer glimpses of the spirited Blackbucks. This harmonious coexistence paints a vivid tableau of nature's grandeur and diversity.

Gir national park safari – a detailed guide.

Above 400 royal Asiatic lions. 300+ Leopards. 200+ bird varieties. 100+ mammals and reptiles. And much much more! Gir National park is a Jungle book story coming to life in an even more exciting way.

The 1412 square kilometres large park is exemplary in protecting what was gifted to us in au naturale. Conserving a great range of native species that would’ve otherwise fallen under the endangered list of animals.

What makes this park a must-visit is the presence of the wild Asiatic lion. Declared as a national park in 1975, this beautiful biodiversity hotspot is the ONLY PLACE in the entire world where these majestic beasts can be found wandering.

Spotting the fauna amidst the exotic floral blanket and deciduous forests is an exhilarating experience. Be it a safari or a short stroll around these regions, the arid ecoregion is going to leave you awestruck, and that’s guaranteed.

Table of Contents

Follow the compass to the southwest part of Gujarat towards the Sasan Gir village and you’ll be led to the Gir National Park. Located inland from the beaches of Diu, the park has a trail which has all the directions leading to the reception and orientation centre.

It’s easily accessible and at a considerable distance from many major cities in and around Gujarat,

Distance from Veraval – 69 km

Distance from Junagadh – 76 km

Distance from Porbandar – 179 km

Distance from Bhavnagar – 200 km

Distance from Ahmedabad – 325 km

Distance from Vadodara – 378 km

How to get here

There are several airports in and around, that connect Gir to the major cities. The closest one is Keshod airport and Rajkot airport. Which lie around 80 and 170 km from the park respectively. Both airports also have well-connected flights from Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai, Kolkata, and Ahmedabad.

Yet another convenient route remains the flight to Diu airport that is a 2-hour drive from the sanctuary. As your preference, you can choose a cab or bus service to facilitate your journey.

The nearest railway station is Junagadh, at a distance of 78 km from the park. There are frequent interstate trains, so taking a run through rails from cities like Ahmedabad and Rajkot would be quite easy.

From here the National Park is just a matter of a couple of hours drive. There are also shorter routes, which would lead you to the destination quicker but can get a little confusing.

Since it’s a tourist attraction that’s visited very often, there are many taxis and buses that’d run regularly to Sasan Gir from the station.

The GSRTC and Private AC buses are more opted for the journey. Even Though the interstate journey extends on for at least 3-6 hours, it’s accompanied by the scenic route.

There are several buses from major cities in Gujarat including Rajkot, Junagadh, Somnath, and Ahmedabad.

The most preferred route would be from Junagadh, as there’s always a bunch of localities who’d be going to the same destination from here. So if you’re travelling solo, this would be more like the base point from where you’d be guided to Sasan Gir.

Dropping points are mostly near the Forest Department’s Orientation Centre or at the Reception from where the visitors are supposed to acquire permits and passes.

Best time to visit

The park remains open for tourists from October to June ( shut during 16th June till 15th October).

While planning a visit to the National park, there are a few things that you might want to keep in mind,

Periods when the wildlife is more active.
Accessible periods to the park.
Crowds and price hikes during weekends and holidays.

Considering these three factors the ideal period to visit would be during the months between December-March.

The temperature is ideal at a minimum of 10-20 degree Celsius. It also paves the way for a pleasant experience with many activities and explorations.

If photography is your calling, then summers would be your jackpot. The lions get out of their dens to get water and that sight makes it worth all the trouble.

Summers are avoided by many travellers due to heat waves which can get little crazy.

Monsoon is almost never preferred because the safari can get a little risky and may also go in vain as the animals do not get out of their shelters.

Opening hours and charges

The entry charges vary for Indian citizens and foreigners. The other charges that are accounted include those of photography, guide and safari.

Fees are as mentioned below,

For entering the park an entry permit has to be obtained. This can be taken from the Sinh Sadan Orientation Centre (the forest department orientation centre) that’s barely a 5-minute walk from the main gate.

The opening time of the centre is 7 AM to 11 AM in the morning, and from 3 PM to 5:30 PM in the evening. One pass can accommodate 6 people in total.

Another option that avoids all the fuss is the e-permit that can be taken through the online website. Additional charges apply if you prefer this and there are certain tips that might help you through it,

Avoid the last-minute hassle and apply prior to your planned day of the visit. You can apply as before as three months itself and wait for it to get approved.
The permit does not include fees for the Guide, Vehicle and camera. These have to be particularly paid at the park, so keep some cash in hand at all times.

Attractions

1) explore the gir jungle trail safari.

For all the adrenaline junkies and the cautious watchers, here’s a journey that covers it all up for you. The Gir Jungle is among the best Safari trails that show the untouched nature in all its glory.

While the risks that follow in a jungle are brought to you within the safety of the jeep, they’re not really sugar-coated.

The thrills are sure to get to you within the first five minutes of the safari, and you may want to look out for even the most unexpected sights here.

The safari is conducted in jeeps, gypsies, or canters with an experienced guide. They’d be present at all times and will be your eyes for the day. Be it to spot a wildly leaping jungle cat, easily camouflaged insect, Bonelli’s eagle soaring high above our heads or the showstopper Asiatic lion.

2) Marshes of the Crocodile Breeding Farm

While the park holds pride in being a world-renowned conservative sanctuary, there are several records they hold close to home.

Sheltering the largest number of marsh crocodiles in India, it’s a must-visit place. The idea in itself might sound quite intimidating, but it’s quite the opposite. It’s a welcoming breeze of air to understand the mighty creatures a bit better.

They’re rather seen as creatures from whom we borrowed their home. This is also reflected in their breeding and caring techniques.

It’s awe-strikingly fascinating to watch the shift from the playful looking baby crocs to the majestically scaled ones twisting and snaking their way through land and water.

3) Sunset at Kamleshwar Dam

If there’s a point in Gir with a charm that can be so gravitating, it’d be the Kamleshwar Dam. Built over the ethereal Hiran River, it’s a perfect viewpoint for watching the sunset into the horizons of the clear blue waters.

Located inside the park, you can always come across a few animals stopping by to refresh themselves.

Sun setting down slowly, small bridges decoratively placed, the expanse of green foliage, shadows of the wildlife cast over the reflective waters. The sight is something that’d be captured in your cameras and diary of memories forever.

It’s also among the pit stops with which you start the trip and end it.

4) Hot springs of Tulsi Shyam Temple

Walking up the 100 stone stairs, you’ll be led to one of the most beautiful and oldest temples around the state. The idol of Lord Krishna, which is worshipped here, is said to be about 3000 years old.

But what this temple is known even more for, is the presence of the three hot springs. Filled with waters that just tend to get warmer and warmer to the boiling point, it’s believed to contain healing and spiritual powers.

Being rich in natural sulphur, a lot of tourists are drawn here to take a dip and feel rejuvenated.

Another lesser-known fact about the temple is that the road attached to the temple is believed to have a gravity-defying phenomenon. Spend a good amount of time here exploring the architecture, myths, and aesthetics.

5) Walkthrough the exquisite tribal culture

Undoubtedly one of the most interesting things to do around Gir is a visit across the villages. The tribal settlements here come along with centuries-long tales and cultures. All those treasured and protected within the park.

The most prominent tribes around here are the pastoral community of Maldhari and the agricultural pockets of Siddis.

What’s more interesting is that the Siddis are the only African settlement in India, while in the rest parts of the country they’re pretty scattered. So not only would you be getting an insight to the Afro-Indian world, but you’d also be in for surprises with their differential take on absolutely everything under the sun.

It’s a beautiful cross-cultural tradition and everything from the clothing to cuisine would captivate you.

For a better viewing experience, it’s always advised to carry a good pair of binoculars to the park.
If you’re carrying a camera, make sure not to use the flash.
Choose your clothing wisely and wear non-reflective and subtle colours that don’t draw unwanted attention from the wildlife.
Private vehicles will only be allowed after several procedures, but it’s always better to opt for the safari with an experienced guide.
Carry essentials such as water, cap/hats, sunscreen, and first aid.
You’d be asked to stay in the vehicle with the guide at all times for safety reasons.
The trail does not accommodate activities such as camping, hiking, picnicking. There are decent stay options around the park, be it resorts or boot camps.

Gir National Park

The thought to meet and greet the mighty Lion is as fascinating as it is frightening. But, if you are eager to have such a fulfilling experience, then the Gir National Park is the destination for you.

Our Geography and General Knowledge books have introduced us to this famous wildlife sanctuary, the Gir National Park which is located in Gujarat. This protected forest is also popular as SasanGir and is located near Somnath, Junagadh, Amreli, and especially the TalalaGir. In 1965, the Gir Forest National Park was set up and since then it has been the refuge for Mama(201), Papa(109l), and Baby lions (213). The National Park and Wildlife Sanctuary has an area of 1412 km2 combined and has been attracting people since its inception.

To gather the best memories, you need to visit the Gir Forest during December to March, as it remains closed every year for the set period of June 16- October 15. However, if you are a fan of photography and can dread the hotness of Gujarat, then you will be impressed with April- May scenes. To make the most of the journey, Gir Safari Booking will be the best idea.

History of Gir National Park

When we were still under the British Rule, then the colonized princes used to invite colonizers for the game of hunt. This led to a steady decline in the count of the Asiatic lion and only a dozen or so were left cornered in the Gir Forest. This was brought to the notice of Junagarh's Nawab as this hunting ground belonged to him. To preserve the remaining precious Asiatic Lion, he established the Gir National Park which also houses various other plants and animals.

The bio-diverse importance of this place is immense and the NGOs, the wildlife activists, and the forest department of Government are trying their utmost to protectthe Gir Forest National Park.

The Ultimate Gir Safari Booking Debate: Bus or Jeep?

There is absolutely no doubt about the fact that the Gir Forest National Park has a lot to offer. Keeping in mind the requirements of the inhabitants of the Gir Forest, theDevalia safari was created. Devalia is an interpretation of the denser forest which gives to you all the main components of the main theme but in a restricted zone.

On the other hand, the Devalia safari is about a bus-ride through the less-dense part of the GirNational Park which might not be very adventurous yet guarantees the sightings of the animals. This Safari is on throughout the day and can introduce you with birds, reptiles, herbivorous other than the lions.

As per the Gir National Park Information, the Gir Jungle Trail is all about the raw beauty of the forest and its beautiful beats. This safari is mostly done using the jeep and gypsies that take you through the dusty alleys of the jungle where the flora and fauna play peek-a-boo with you. The timings of this Gir Safari Booking have been shared previously and if you are lucky, you might have your moment with the maned Asiatic beast. Even if you don't see the lion still the journey and the experience in itself is intriguing.

Although you can pre-book the SasanGir Safari, yet the permits are limited and based on a first-come-first-serve basis. To end the debate, it is recommended to try both the safaris to explore Gir National Park.
