When visiting GIR the best thing to enjoy is the First forest. Apart from this the fantastic homestays nearby are the best way to relax in the midst of nature

All are great there but try to book those which are near the forest
Can you suggest any homestay/tentstay in the forest?
It’s around 8 hours road journey from Ahmedabad to the Gir forest, so leave accordingly. There’s nothing major you need to keep in to do list as the safari guide does it all. But remember charging your phones, cameras and power banks. Can keep a binocular if want to. Happy Traveling, Share your experience when you back :)

Sasan Gir can be reached only through car or auto as there are no direct trains from Ahmedabad to Gir. Malai is the nearest station you can travel upto and then from there its either auto cab. There is nothing except safari in Gir, you can go for treks around in the buffer zone which are conducted by resorts usually.

Gir is almost 7-8 hours from Ahmedabad. For your safari, keep the original I'd cards that you have mentioned in the permit else they won't allow inside. Report to the gate atleast 30 mins before the actual time. The official will provide you with the route number. You need to pay the Jeep charges and guide fee on the spot which is total Rs 2100. If you are lucky, you will get to see lion. If you couldn't spot the lion, just go to devalia safari park for a 30 mins tour to catch a glimpse of the Asiatic Lion.
