Gir National Park, established in 1965, lies in western Gujarat. As National Parks go, Gir practically sells itself: it serves as a reserve forest for preserving the Asiatic lion. The vast terrainò€”forests, grasslands, rivers and swampsò€”supports the full Animal Planet menagerie including the antelope, leopard, deer, hyena, jackal and crocodile. The watering holes dotting the region attract myriad bird speciesò€”and these areas are jewels in Gujrats richly studded safari crown.
