Gir National Park is located in Gujarat and is the only place besides Africa where we can find Asiatic lions in their habitat. This park offers such a habitat that many different creatures love. It also has a place for the water animals, i.e., seasonal canals and four reservoirs where crocodiles reside.
The Gir National Park has become an admirable wildlife destination for India and has gained so much popularity because it is the only place in India to spot Asiatic lions, especially among tourists, wildlife lovers, and photographers. Thousands of tourists rush to this park to experience a bucket list safari trek that gets them face-to-face with Asiatic lions on the loose.
Gir Jungle Trail
Have you ever thought about spending a whole day with creatures? If yes, it would be very adventurous. Once you are at the Gir Wildlife Sanctuary, you will experience so much delight on this best jungle trail in India with 300 types of birds, 24 kinds of reptiles, and 30 types of mammals that you will never forget.
Lion safari
We know that there are numerous wildlife sanctuaries in India, but Gir is the only place where tourists get to witness lions wandering willingly in their naturalistic habitat. If you want to see these wild beasts at a perfect moment, watch them at sunrise or sunset. There are specified intervals for jeep trails to encounter the raw wilderness of the jungle.
To present tourists with a more thrilling experience, Gir Park has arranged for Lion safaris in open jeeps.
