The Last Home of the Asiatic Lion

Gir National Park, located in the Saurashtra region of Gujarat, is the only place in the world where the majestic Asiatic Lions roam freely in the wild. Spanning dry deciduous forests, grasslands, and rocky hills, Gir is a conservation success story and a thrilling wildlife destination.

Apart from lions, the park boasts rich biodiversity – including leopards, striped hyenas, crocodiles, and over 300 bird species. From open jeep safaris to village trails and cultural immersion, Gir offers a complete wild escape unlike anywhere else in India.
