GIR NATIONAL PARK
Bhuvatirath, Junagadh, Gujarat, India
This wild life sanctuary in the South-West of Saurashtra Peninsula in Junagadh District of Gujarat is the only wildlife sanctuary in India that has Asiatic lions. It comprises 1412 sq. km of deciduous forest and steep rocky hills. Many perennial and seasonal rivers flow in these parts, providing relief for the animals here and these large water bodies are specially good for crocodiles and birds. This region is collectively called the Gir protected area and is spread over 130,000 hectares. This park houses at least 300 lions and also includes other animals like the chital, the nilgai, the leopards, chinkara, four- horned antelope and the wild boar, as well as a wide variety of birds and reptiles.
