  • Duplicate marking
  • Geer Santuary is a Lion santuary located in Gujarat. Visitors are allowed to take a tour through the jeep of the Organisation inside a restricted area for around half an hour.
  • This is NOT the Gir Sanctuary! It is a safari cum natural history park. About four sq km has been sequestered and is the home of a pride of lions and plenty of deer, sambar, nilgai and boars. It also houses a lion hospital and a visitors centre where there are exhibits and information about the Gir area. Casual visitors are brought here and it is open throughout the year.The area is part of the Gir reserved forest but is not the sanctuary. The sanctuary is to the east and can be visited by permit only daily between 0630 to 0930 and 1530 to 1830 from 15 October to 15 June every year.
  • Why no photos, to suit Internet Tourists etc. ?
