Gir National Park, officially known as Sasan Gir, is the last remaining natural habitat of the Asiatic Lion in the world. Located in Junagadh and Gir Somnath districts of Gujarat, this wildlife sanctuary is a testament to successful conservation efforts that brought the Asiatic lion back from the brink of extinction.

Spread across 1,412 square kilometers, Gir is home to over 600 Asiatic lions, making it one of the most important wildlife reserves in India. Beyond lions, the forest shelters diverse wildlife including leopards, spotted deer, nilgai, sambar deer, wild boar, crocodiles, and over 300 bird species.

Gir represents a unique ecosystem where dry deciduous forests, grasslands, and riverine zones converge, creating a rich biodiversity hotspot. The forest is traversed by perennial rivers like Hiran, Shetrunji, Datardi, and seasonal streams that sustain life year-round.

For wildlife enthusiasts, nature lovers, and conservation advocates, Gir offers an unparalleled opportunity to witness the majestic Asiatic Lion in its natural habitat—a privilege available nowhere else on Earth
