Gir Forest Tour to see the Asiatic Lion
Gir, the last kingdom of the Asiatic lion.
Step into the wilderness of Gir Forest, the last sanctuary of the Asiatic lion, where the jungle awakens at dawn with roars that echo through ancient teak groves. On two thrilling safaris, you’ll traverse dusty trails in search of lions, leopards, striped hyenas, and the graceful chinkara. Over 300 species of birds—from painted storks to paradise flycatchers—fill the skies, making Gir a paradise not just for big-cat enthusiasts but for every wildlife lover. This is not just a safari, it’s an immersion into the raw, untamed soul of India’s wildlife.






The Road to Gir
At daybreak, Ahmedabad slowly disappears in your rearview mirror as you journey into Saurashtra. The highway winds through cotton fields, grazing buffaloes, and roadside dhabas serving hot fafda-jalebi. The closer you get to Gir, the wilder the landscape feels—dusty plains, thorny acacia groves, and an occasional peacock dancing by the roadside.
Morning Safari
Before dawn, the forest awaits again. Wrapped in a shawl against the morning chill, you set out on your first safari. The forest at sunrise is a different world—mist clings to the grass, birds burst into song, and the light turns everything to silver. The thrill builds with every turn in the trail. Then, in the clearing, you find them—a lioness with her cubs, playful and watchful. This is Gir at its most magical, where life continues in its raw, untamed beauty.
Afternoon Safari
As the afternoon approaches, you climb into your safari jeep. The forest is cloaked in sunlight. Then it can happen—through the tall grass, a lioness might emerge, her amber eyes locking with yours for the briefest of moments. Not far away, a pride of lions rests under an acacia, unbothered, regal, and eternal. Your heart races as the safari winds through trails where leopards lurk and antelopes bound gracefully.
Forest Lodge
Your lodge in Sasan Gir feels like it belongs to the forest itself—stone paths, mud cottages, and trees alive with birdcalls. After a hearty Gujarati lunch, you take a short rest, only to wake up to the forest’s evening chorus.Gujarati culture over 8 hours.
