Hi friends! we have celebrated our Janmasthmi (2014) at Gir forest. Normally, Gir forest is more explored in winter or summer, but we have explored in monsoon. Its amazing experience of monsoon in gir .Apart of Lots of birds & animals , we have explored forest in jungle treking. One river trek along harini river reminds me , Amazone jungle on discovery channel. We had lots of experience about innocence of Gir people & African negro(siddi) dance, but most amazing experince is forest treking in night.To see lion in jungle(after treking in jungle bare foot) & when i heard lion’s roar(in midnight)…..wow its thrilling experience! Till now i accepting lion as a king of jungle but after my visit to this”Jurasic jungle ” & hearing lion’s roar in midforest, now i can feel,he is king of jungle.

My recent visit to gir in nov 2016, i have explored few untouched places of gir. One of them is “gir gadhada” forest region. We were fortunate to get permission & visited core area of this part of forest where routine public & safaris are not allowed. We visited in one of nes(home of maldhari community) in this region. It is incredible experience.
