A safari in Gir National Park is a fun ride and people enjoy it a lot. Gir National Park is the only place in the World where one can spot Asiatic Lions roaming freely in their natural habitat. Wildlife enthusiasts especially come here to see lions from different parts of the World. This park is famous around the World because of its Asiatic Lions. It is located in Gujarat and people who come here can enjoy a gypsy safari in the wild area by making Gir online safari booking.
People can enjoy a gypsy safari in the wild area of Gir National Park and this is the only permitted option by the forest department to explore this park. It is advised for people who come here to make Gir safari bookings in advance because the tourism pressure is very much on this park. Even the department has made a Devalia safari park which is a fenced area in this park to enjoy a ride and to decrease the pressure on the Gir National Park. Other than these two, people can also enjoy a safari ride towards Kankai Mata Temple or Girnar Hills.
This park does not have different zones as people come here to spot Asiatic Lions and they can be found anywhere inside the park. However, the Giz Interpretation zone and Kankai Temple of this park have different routes than the normal safari rides so people can book their safari for them if they want another chance to spot lions here. At a distance, Girnar Hills are also located which allows safari in it. In simple words, people can make a Gir online safari booking, or book safaris for Gir Interpretation Zone (Devalia), Girnar, or Kankai Temple.
