Gir Somnath

Gir National Park situated in the Junagadh district in Kathiawar Gujarat is one of India`s most precious and vital biodiversity vaults. The beautiful but harsh teak dominated habitat is the last bastion of the Asiatic Lions. This large tawny cat with an unpatterned body was reduced to a mere 20 in number about 60 years ago. Fortunately for us they have staged a comeback to about 250 in numbers today. So don`t miss this unique opportunity to see the King of the Jungle in his own domain. The Somnath Temple in Saurashtra is home to one of the twelve jyotirlingas. Destroyed and reconstructed several times in the past, the present temple was reconstructed in Chaulukya style of Hindu temple architecture and completed in May 1951.
