The sanctuary protects the last wild population
of lions outside Africa. Brilliant flame of
the forest, teak and banyan trees define the
landscape of this Park. The river and stream
banks are characterized by evergreen belts.
On your trip to Gir, you can spot sambar,
chital, nilgai, gazelles, wild boar, crested
serpent eagles, flamingos, woodpeckers and
langurs. Gir is also home to the largest leopard
population in India. In fact, if you stay
in the lodges in and around Gir, you might
even see a stray leopard skulking close by
through the still summer night.
Gir displays it magnificent best between November
and June. You can visit the park in a jeep
- walking and hiking are forbidden in the
vicinity of the sanctuary. If you want to
catch the king of the jungle in all his grandeur,
dusk or dawn is the ideal time to do so. The
Asiatic lion here is smaller than the African
lion, but equally breathtaking and awe-inspiring.
Most animals make for the watering holes around
this time and wildlife spotting opportunities
are high then. Gir is also home to over 20
species of reptiles. |
