to Gujarat Gir National Park Tours - perhaps
the last sanctuary for the endangered
Asiatic Lion.
Located in Junagadh, Gujarat Gir National Park Tours is spread on
an area of 1150 square kilometers.
Cloaked with deciduous forests,
jamun, tendu, acacia and dhak
trees, Gir or Sasangir Wildlife offers
the perfect habitat for several
animals apart from the lion.
Te
other trees that can be spotted
while on tours to Sasangir are
Charal, Vad, Kalam, Amli and Karanj.
At a point of time in the 20th
century the population of the
Asiatic Lion dwindled to a mere
20.
It was then that the ruler
of Junagadh took proactive steps
to ban lion hunting in India and
to establish a Sasangir Wildlife.
Gir acquired the status of a national
park in the year 1965. Today there
are more then 300 lions at
Wildife in Gir National Park
.
An important thing to remember
is that one must secure entry
permits before setting out on
wildlife safaris to the core area
of Gir from the local forest office.
In fact most tourists are allowed
to enjoy safaris in the buffer
zone of this large national park.
Large stretches of grasslands
interspersed with thick forest
clusters make Gir the perfect
place for the Asiatic Lion to
thrive.
Besides the king of the
jungle you'll come across a large
number of other animals and birds
that inhabit the forests of Gir.
Spot Sambhar, Chinkara, Blackbucks,
Hedgehogs, Indian Hare, Nilgai,
