Looking for Lions at Gir National Park
Gir National Park is the only place apart from Africa where you can see the lions in its own habitat. Established in 1965, the lions in this park were protected by the Nawab of Junagadh who ensured that their numbers keep increasing. Therefore the conservation of Lions started. The forest is mainly dry deciduous with some parts of Savannah. With teak trees covering about 90 percent of the flora. Making it a perfect habitat for these large cats. The dam built on river Hiran acts as a natural breeding ground for not only crocodiles but also other reptiles and migratory birds too.
Great Rann of Kutch – The White Salt Desert
Very few places are as mesmerizing as this vast expanse of white salt desert. Located mainly in the state of Gurajat in India it also extends to the Sindh province in Pakistan. The seasonal salt marsh covers an area of 10,000 sq miles and is one of the biggest salt marshes in the world. Now imagine Great Rann of Kutch – The White Salt Desert, shimmering in the moonlight and speckled with a plethora of bright colors that’s what it looks like. This three month extravaganza is organised by the Gujarat Tourism and gives a colorful insight into the life and culture of the Kutch community.
