Internationally recognised as the only surviving habitat of the Asiatic Lion, Sasan Gir National Park and Wildlife Sanctuary are situated around 65 km southeast of the small city of Junagadh in Gujarat. Today, it proudly claims to be home to nearly 300 Asiatic Lions. In addition to its most protected residents, the reserve is also home to a wide range of flora and fauna. The terrain here is marked by rocky hills and numerous streams in a deciduous type forest filled with teak, acacia, and other rare trees.

It goes without saying that the primary attraction here is the Sasan Gir National Park itself. Among some of the distinct species of fauna residing here, in addition to the lions, are leopards, jungle cats, jackals, hyenas, mongoose, four-horned antelopes, wild boars, chinkara, sambar, nilgai, porcupines, pangolins. The park also has numerous reptiles such as pythons, lizards and the famous marsh crocodiles, which can be seen at a special crocodile breeding farm within Gir.
