Arrival and Safari Adventure Morning: Arrival in Gir Somnath Arrive at Gir Somnath either by train or road from your location. From the railway station or bus stand, you can hire a local taxi or opt for a pre-arranged transfer to your hotel or resort. Check-in at your accommodation (options range from budget to luxurious stays). Gir National Park Safari After settling in, head out for an exciting safari in Gir National Park. Safaris are available in two time slots: early morning (6:00 AM - 9:00 AM) and late afternoon (3:30 PM - 6:00 PM). It's a good idea to pre-book your safari, especially during the peak seasons. During your safari, you’ll have the chance to see the rare Asiatic lions, along with other wildlife like leopards, deer, and a variety of birds. Devalia Safari Park (Gir Interpretation Zone) If you’re unable to secure a safari in the forest, you can visit Devalia Safari Park, an enclosed area within the Gir National Park, where wildlife sightings are guaranteed. This is a great alternative for a second safari experience. Evening at Leisure After your adventurous day, unwind and relax with dinner at your hotel or resort.
