Gir Lion Sanctuary and National Park lies in the NorthWest Indian state of Gujarat. the nearest district town is Junagadh 65 kms. Convenient rail and air links are from Rajkot 160 kms. It is necessary to book in advance with a copy of identity card.
A very enjoyable 2nd trip for me. My gratitude to BNHS and our Group Leader Asif Khan for arranging this trip as also the management and staff of Lion Safari Camp for their excellent service. My appreciation to the local naturalist Mr. Bachchu Singh for the two very interesting birding trails, our enthusiastic and knowledgeable driver, Ramsingh and a good guide Ishabhai who made it possible for us to see some excellent bird and mammal life.
I have been fortunate to visit Gir National Park & Lion Sanctuary on 2 occasions, first in November 2008 which was the annual get-together of members of Indianaturewatch.com and more recently in May 2012 which was a camp organised by Bombay Natural History Society(BNHS). the visits were during different seasons so you get to see Gir in different colours.
