Historically, lions roamed much of Asia and the Middle East, but today Gir is their only natural refuge. Once facing extinction, conservation programs in Gir have brought the population back from under 200 individuals in the early 20th century to a thriving, stable population today.
The terrain is a mix of rugged hills, dry deciduous forests, grasslands, and river systems. The Hiran, Shetrunji, Datardi, and Shingoda rivers flow through the park, sustaining wildlife even in harsh summers. The teak-dominated forests, open scrub, and rocky outcrops provide varied habitats that lions, leopards, and other predators thrive in.
Gir is also culturally significant. The Maldhari pastoral community lives in and around the forest, coexisting with lions for centuries. Their traditional lifestyle and oral folklore add a human dimension to the landscape.
Today, Gir is more than a national park—it is a global symbol of conservation success, where visitors can witness lions thriving in their natural home.

Vegetation At Gir National Park
Gir’s vegetation is classified as dry deciduous forest, with teak as the most dominant tree. Teak groves are interspersed with species like jamun, dhak, babul, and khair. Flame-of-the-forest adds bursts of red in summer, while flowering species like karanj and amaltas color the forest in spring.

The rivers and reservoirs within the park maintain riparian vegetation with fruiting and flowering trees, attracting both mammals and birds. Seasonal monsoons rejuvenate the forest, turning the dry scrub into lush greenery.
This variety of habitats—forests, scrublands, grasslands, and rivers—creates a balanced ecosystem capable of supporting top predators and rich prey populations.

Wildlife At Gir National Park
The Asiatic lion is the pride of Gir. Smaller and with a distinct fold of skin along the belly compared to their African cousins, these lions live in prides across the park’s valleys and grasslands. Safari-goers often see them resting under shade or near waterholes during the hotter hours of the day.

Leopards are Gir’s second apex predator and are more frequently sighted here than in most other reserves. Striped hyenas, jackals, and jungle cats add to the carnivore diversity.
Herbivores include sambar, chital, nilgai, four-horned antelope, and wild boar. Blackbucks and chinkaras are also found in open grasslands around the buffer.
Reptiles are abundant—marsh crocodiles thrive in Kamleshwar Dam, while cobras, kraits, and monitor lizards inhabit the dry forests.
Gir is also notable for its coexistence of people and wildlife. The Maldhari settlements within the buffer coexist with predators, creating a rare living model of shared landscapes.
