Welcome to Sasan Gir Wildlife Sanctuary, one of the most widely filmed wild life reserves in the world. Set in the Junagadh District of Gujarat, about 65 km south-east of Junagadh city, and 90 km east of Keshod Airport, in the Kathiawar (Saurashtra) Peninsula, this Sanctuary has the honor of being counted among the finest wildlife sanctuaries of India.
This is one of the finest places to view wildlife at its natural best, whether prowling in their territory or snoozing by the many streams, which dot the area. Though most popular for The Asiatic Lions, this sanctuary is home to a wide variety of mammals, birds, reptiles and insects.
Once done with their appointment with Wildlife, the tourists can also plan trips to various tourist hot spots nearby. Some of them are listed below:
In fact, the Gir National Park itself has a colorful past reflecting the kaleidoscopic culture of the State of Gujarat. Its pantheon of antique temples is seats of great reverence for example: Kankai Mata and Tulsishyam, a place of pilgrimage with hot springs.
The Madhari tribes are actually cattle herding tribe whose buffaloes form a substantial part of the lions' diet. The warm hospitality of these herders belies their limited interaction with people, infact their life story is more about coexistence with the lions.
Some other places of tourist interest in and around the Sansan Gir Wildlife Sanctuary are Baval Chowk and Kankai, to Chodavdi and Tulsishyam, and to Kamaleshwar dam. It is best to take a jeep though a sturdy car is also not bad for all practical purposes.
When at Gir National Park do not miss to catch the three unusual reserves, the Nalsarovar Lake and Sanctuary - home to several water-birds, the Little Rann of Kutch - home of the Indian wild ass, and the fascinating Flamingo Island, render the state of Gujarat a virtual haven for wildlife buffs
