Devalia Safari Park
દેવળીયા સફારી પાર્ક
A fenced lion-viewing area near Sasan Gir, where a one-hour safari bus ride almost always brings sightings of Asiatic lions.
Devalia (Gir Interpretation Zone) is a large fenced area on the edge of Gir Forest, home to Asiatic lions, leopards, spotted deer, nilgai (blue bull) and more. A tour by park bus or jeep takes about 30–60 minutes. Although it is not as wild as the deep interior of the national park, the chances of seeing lions are very high, making it a good choice for visitors who cannot get a national park safari permit or who visit before the monsoon. Tickets can be booked on the official website or bought on site. It is about 12 km from Sasan Gir and about 65 km from Junagadh.
Opening hours
