Gir National Park - National park in Sasan Gir - Junagadh, India

This was an amazing experience. We got to see so many lions , leopards, deers, birds and owls. Took the early morning safari so was very easy to spot them as they were awake. If you go later the animals might go to sleep and you might miss out. Reach early at the reception desk as there might be a big line for the permits check and driver guide assignment. Don't carry any plastics as it is strictly prohibited. Overall totally worth the money and experience. Highly recommended for all groups

Absolute must to visit. If you are lucky, you'll see lions. There are also so many other animals and birds. Take the first safari at 6am that offers the best chance of seeing lions. We went late October and it got quite cold in the moving open vehicle (we are used to extreme cold); take a sweater to be comfortable. You can't take plastic water bottles into the jungle, so need to purchase a Steel water bottle filled with water for $10. The bottle needs to be returned at the end of the tour. The bottle is huge and you can't really drink during the trip. Therefore, either skip the water purchase or get only one.

Gir National Park is a breathtaking wilderness area that should be on the bucket list of any nature lover. The tower view point, the natural river and morning sunrise make it a wonderful and awesome experience for visitors to explore the park's lush green forests, rolling hills, and diverse wildlife. The 6:30 AM to 9:30 AM morning safari was fantastic. We had the opportunity to observe lions (which even walked behind our jeep for more than 7-8 minutes), as well as deer, peacocks and other birds and animals. It was an incredible experience. The Jeep Safari at Gir National Park is a must which promises a truly unforgettable experience.

They are doing there duties properly but private agencies cheats and use to hide information. Gir Van management keeps silance or not available in there office. Bed experience.

Gir national park is a must visit for wildlife enthusiasts. Not only does it offer you a chance to view the Asiatic Lions but also the deciduous forest of sagon. Interpretation Center and souvenir shops are one of the best across India. Fun fact: 14KMs state highway runs through the national park (permitted for public use from 6:00 am to 6:00 pm).

Wonderful experience, spotting of lion is depending upon your luck. We are lucky enough to spotted 4 lioness.

Overall the experience was great, but everything is way too expensive.

Gir has a lot of wild animals like Lions, Wild Boar, Leopards etc. The best thing to do would be to book the open jeep safari well in advance, there are few slots only which get filled quickly. Then you are left with the bus safari, which is cheaper but not as fun. Pro Tip : 1) Only book for open jeep safari via an official government website, do not go for local options. They are not safe 2) Try to book well in advance 3) Would recommend to book Anantam Resort, its recently opened and has good service.
