Gir Lion Sanctuary

Lion can be seen at two places in the world; one in the forests of Africa and other in the Gir forests of Junagadh district of Saurashtra region. About 240 lions and cubs are inhabiting in the Gir forest spread in 1,515 sq. kms. At the western end of the state formerly also known as Kathiawar. The Gir forest is dry and open. As such, it is ideally suited for the abode of lions. In the small hillocks or thickets of trees or on banks of rivers spread over jungle, the lion its shelter home. It lives in-group of eight or ten at each place in the jungle. The group is normally made up of the members of the family coming into its territory. The forest opens up gradually and one comes across a wild species at any time from any corner such as spotted deer, blue bull, four-horned antelopes, peacocks and striped hyenas. And at long last, when one finds himself only a few yards away from a lion of its family, it is an unforgettable experience for the life-time.
