Gir National Park – The land of real wilderness

Introduction – Gir National Park

Gir National Park attracts droves of visitors to see the Asiatic lion in the wild, as it’s the only place in the world where these creatures are now found. Once almost hunted to extinction and listed as critically endangered in 2000, Asiatic lion numbers have recovered well due to conservation efforts. The park’s core zone, which extends for almost 260 square kilometers, was declared as a Gir national park in 1975. 

However, the sanctuary was set up a decade earlier. According to the latest census in 2015, the number of Asiatic lions in Gir National Park and the surrounding area increased by 27% since 2010. The total lion population was recorded at 523, consisting of 109 males, 201 females, and 213 sub-adults and cubs. Gir’s forested hilly terrain makes it a preferred habitat for the jackals, leopards, antelope, and deer that also live there. It’s home to crocodiles, and over 300 species of resident birds as well.

Location – Gir National Park

Gir National Park is situated in the southwest part of Gujarat state, 360 kilometers from Ahmedabad, 65 kilometers from Junagadh, and 40 kilometers from Veraval. It’s inland from the beaches of Diu. The entrance to the park is located at Sasan Gir village, and this is where the park reception and orientation center is (next to the forest department’s official Sinh Sadan guesthouse). There’s also a Gir Interpretation Zone, also known as Devalia Safari Park, 12 kilometers west of the village, at Devalia. It’s an enclosed area of around four square kilometers that contains a variety of wildlife, including lions. A bus takes visitors on a 30-40 minute tour of it.

When to Visit – Gir National Park

The most popular time to visit Gir National Park is from December to March. However, it can get very crowded during peak times with long waits. You’re more likely to see wildlife, such as lions, when it’s hot (from March to May), as they come out to get water. The best Gir jungle safari to go on is undoubtedly the first one of the morning when the lions are most active. They tend to sleep for the rest of the day and don’t move around much! Weekends and holidays are to be avoided due to the crowds and higher fees charged.

Opening Hours and Safari Times

Gir National Park is open from mid-October until mid-June. There are three, three-hour Gir Jungle Trail jeep safaris per day inside the park. They start at 6.30 a.m., 9.00 a.m., and 3 p.m. The Devalia Safari Park is open all year round, from Thursday to Tuesday (closed Wednesday), 8.00 a.m. until 11 a.m., and 3.00 p.m. until dusk (around 5 p.m.).
