Sasan
Gir National Park (Lion Sanctuary) Sasan Gir, 60km from Junagadh, is the only place on earth where the Asiatic lion still lives in the wild. The park has around 250 lions in an area of 1400 sq km and a core area of 260 sq km. The Asiatic lion used to live from northwest India to Arabia. Outside of India they have been extinct since the 1940s. In 1913 there were only eighteen lions in the park. The sanctuary also has panthers, wild boars, foxes, deer, nilgais,
chinkatas, chitals, hyenas, chowsinghas, barking deer, monkeys, and
peacocks. It is sometimes possible to see a lion on safari, but they
are not so easy to find. You are more likely to see a lion by taking
a jeep and not a minibus; the jeeps can travel on the smaller trails
and enter deeper into the jungle. The morning safaris are usually better
than the afternoon ones. To enter the park, visitors require a permit from the Sinh Sadan Forest Lodge (Rs 20 for the first three days; camera Rs 10, video Rs 20). Jeeps are Rs 6 per km for up to six people. Jeeps enter the park between 7 to 11 am and 3 to 6 pm. A guide is Rs 30. If the guide is helpful, it is a good idea to give a tip. There are some watchtowers in the park from which wildlife can be viewed. In the Interpretation Zone, Devaliya, 12km from Sasan Gir, there are lions in a 4 sq km fenced off area. These lions can be seen easily. Open daily except Wed. Admission Rs 20 (Rs 70 for foreigners), which includes a vehicle. It can be reached by local bus from Sasan Gir. At the Crocodile Rearing Centre, near Sinh Sadan Lodge,
crocodile eggs are hatched so that baby crocodiles can be reared in
a controlled situation. Once they reach a certain size, they are released
into the wild. Travel If you know of a informationthat is not correct or if you would like to help update our listings, please e-mail us at:
