Travel to Sasangir National Park

On your Incredible India Travel itinerary of India's wildlife sanctuaries, Sasangir has a special reason for a visit. Sasangir National Park in Gujarat, India is the only place in the world where the Asiatic Lion still roams in the wild. These majestic animals, which once roamed across Asia, are now reduced to around 300 in number and lives in the protected area of the Sasangir National Park. The Asiatic Lion looks similar to the African Lion and in captivity both varieties can interbreed. However the pure strain of the Asiatic Lion only survives here in Sasangir National Park, which is the guardian of a precious biological resource.

Other animals and birds you can see on Incredible India Travel journeys to Sasangir are leopards, deer, monkeys, wild boar, jungle cats, pheasants, peacocks and grouse. Many more birds are resident at the Nalsarovar Sanctuary nearby. The Asiatic Wild Ass is seen in the Rann of Kutch in Gujarat. Various species of crocodile can be seen at the nearby Crocodile Breeding and research center.

The forests in Sasangir consist of dry desert vegetation, with scrub and thorn bushes extending over the dry soil and the rough rocky outcrops. The vegetation thins out giving tourists a better chance to see the animals and birds in the Sasangir National Park, Gujarat.
