It was completed in 1959 for irrigation purposes however, it is also known for its population of birds and mugger crocodiles that make it a riveting place for sightseeing.

Tulsi Shyam Temple

Tulsi Shyam Temple is a tourist center that is dedicated to Lord Vishnu. The temple is located in the Gir forest surroundings which elevates the sense of tranquility about this place. There are three hot water springs at the location. Legend says that Lord Krishna eliminated the demon called Tul and so the place is associated with his name along with that of Krishna as Shyam and thus known as Tulsi Shyam. The statue of Tulsi Shyam here is believed to be some 3000 years old. Sasan Gir tour packages by Veena World let you get valuable insights, especially during group tours where our professional and knowledgeable tour managers accompany you. 

Tribal Settlements

This dense forest known for its majestic Lions is also home to the Maldhari and Siddi tribes. While planning to meet the lions at Gir National Park, you must include visiting these tribal communities in your itinerary so that you can learn about their way of life, the festivals they organize every year, and their rituals and traditions. 

Devalia Safari Park

Twelve kilometres west of Sasan Gir is the ‘Gir Interpretation Zone’ or the Devalia Safari Park. To curb the tourist pressure on Gir National Park and to cater to tourists who are unable to get safari permits because of the crowds, the eco-tourism department of Gujarat has created a distinct area known as the ‘Gir Interpretation Zone’. 

Island Visit

Merely 65 km from Gir is the union territory of Diu which is a small island off the coast. It is a place where you can take a walk on a sandy beach and see for yourself how grand the ocean is. It would be perfect for a visit throughout the year for all age groups. Your Sasan Gir trip is bound to feel incomplete if you don’t add this to your itinerary.

Breeding Centre for Crocodiles

Here you can experience how crocodiles are bred and learn more about their role in the ecosystem, and their conservation right here in Gir. You can mostly see marsh Crocodile species in the Gir Forest and nearby regions. A must-visit who are intrigued by reptiles.

A must-include in your Sasan Gir holiday package, the Somnath Temple is located along the coastline in the Saurashtra region of Gujarat. The temple is one of the twelve Jyotirlingas that are the sacred abode of Lord Shiva. The temple has a rich history, having been rebuilt multiple times over the centuries due to various invasions and destructions.
