Tour Packages for Sasangir

Sprawled over an area of 1424 sq. kms, amidst the vast arid landscape that dominates the state of Gujarat, towards the tip of Saurashtra Peninsula, lies the wildlife oasis, home to numerous lions, known as the Gir Wildlife Sanctuary. The fascination of hunters to kill animals is an age-old phenomenon and has been witnessed by many centuries. Rummaging the forests and killing a lion was considered as a matter a pride till our government took hold of the situation and corrected the misconception. If you also wish this wondrous achievement by the Indian Government to save the once fast depleting wildlife in India, book yourself with Tour Packages for Sasangir.

Located at a distance of about 60 kms from Junagarh, in Gujarat, the Gir Wildlife Sanctuary is a proud habitat for the Asiatic Lions whose figures rose to an unparalleled high of 300 at the turn of the century from a meager number of 30. The Gir lion sanctuary project was initiated in 1972 and the place has not looked back since. However lions are not the only inhabitants of the Sanctuary.

Other important wildlife in the sanctuary includes leopard, hyena, jungle cat, chital, sambar, nilgai (blue bull), four-horned antelope, wild ass, long-tailed langurs and wild boar among many others. The park also has a variety of birds that include the crested serpent eagles, white-eyed buzzard, hawk eagles and sparrow hawks. A crocodile farm has also been developed in Gir. The Sasangir National Park is definitely an ideal place for Wildlife lovers and birdwatchers.

Apart from the enthralling wildlife in the place, Sasan also houses some of the antique temples like Kankai Mata and Tulsishyam.
