Gir Forest

Some photographs of the Gir Forest National Park and Wildlife Sanctuary which is also known as Sasan-Gir
It started in 1975, and has an area of 1412 sq. kms. This is the home of the Asiatic lion. This is a protected area. Although the lions in the sanctuary had dwindled, today they have increased and believed to be about 400 in number.

There are water bodies here in Gir, and the major perennial rivers of the Gir region are Hiran, Shetrunji, Datardi, Shingoda, Machhundri, Godavari and Raval.
