My favorite place in Gir forest national park - Asiatic lion




Situated about 65km SE of Junagadh district in the state of Gujarat in South West India, the Sasan Gir National Park was established on 18th September, 1965, as a Forest Reserve, primarily to conserve the Asiatic lion-classified as one of the World's most threatened species. Now Gir National Park is the only remaining place in the world, where one is likely to see the Asiatic Lion., Gir National Park is a paradise for the connoisseurs of wildlife. The sanctuary covers a total area of 1412.13 sq kms as protected area which comprises of 258.7 sq kms as National park and 1153.4 sq kms as National park and 1153.4 Sq Kms as Sanctuary. Besides this 470.5 Sq Kms forest area constitutes a buffer zone as reserve, protected and un-classed forest. Thus a total area of 1882.6 Sq Kms forms Gir forest.






Out of a total area of 1882.6 Sq Kms, 1502.7 Sq Kms falls in the Junagadh District and 379.9 Sq Kms in Amreli district. The most important aspect of Gir is that it has become a most stable ecosystem with tremendous regenerating, self supporting and sustaining power due to its rich and diverse flora and fauna.

The Unique ecosystem of Gir harbours about 38 species of mammals, around 300 species of birds, 37 species of reptiles and more than 2000 species of insects.

Most of the tourists explore the sanctuary in search of Asiatic Lions. The lions, a smaller more compact version of their African cousins are best viewed at dawn or dusk when they are on the move. Gir has also leopards and numerous chital, nilgai, chinkara, the four horned antelope and wild boar. Marsh crocodiles are often seen at kamleshwar dam & farm developed in the forest. for lion safari camp, lion safari camp sasan gir, lion safari camp gir, lion safari camp gir forest, lion safari camp sasan gir gujarat, lion safari camp sasan gir national park, lion safari camp sasan gir contact.
