The optimal period to experience our Gir National Park Tour Packages is from October to June. The park remains closed during monsoon (mid-June to mid-October). For wildlife enthusiasts seeking maximum sightings, March to May is particularly rewarding as the dry conditions cause animals to gather around water sources, increasing your chances of lion sightings. The cooler winter months from November to February offer comfortable temperatures for safaris, though the slightly denser vegetation may make wildlife spotting a bit more challenging but equally exciting.

A minimum of 3 days is recommended to fully appreciate what our Gir National Park Tour offers. This duration allows for 3-4 safari sessions, significantly increasing your chances of lion sightings. The first day typically involves arriving and settling in, followed by an afternoon safari. The second day can include morning and afternoon safaris exploring different zones of the park. The third day offers a final morning safari before departure.

Our Gir National Park Tour includes various accommodation options to suit different preferences and budgets. These range from luxury wildlife resorts offering premium amenities like swimming pools and spa services to mid-range hotels with comfortable rooms and good service. All our partner properties maintain high standards of cleanliness and service, with many offering panoramic views of the forest or nearby landscapes.

While the Asiatic lion is the star attraction of our Gir National Park Tour, the park boasts remarkable biodiversity. You’re likely to encounter leopards, jungle cats, and striped hyenas among the predators. The park hosts numerous deer species including spotted deer (chital), sambar, and nilgai (blue bull). Wild boars, langurs, and over 300 bird species add to the wildlife spectacle. Reptiles include marsh crocodiles, monitor lizards, and various snake species.

For an enjoyable Gir National Park Tour, pack lightweight, breathable clothing in earth tones (avoid bright colors that might disturb wildlife). Include a light jacket or windcheater, especially for winter mornings. Comfortable walking shoes, a wide-brimmed hat, sunglasses, and high-SPF sunscreen are essential. Binoculars enhance wildlife viewing significantly, while a good camera with zoom lens captures memorable sightings. Don’t forget insect repellent, personal medications, and a reusable water bottle. A small daypack is useful for safaris.
