The Gir Birding Lodge is the closest you will be to the forest - you are literally separated by a wall. Quite exciting if you are wild about being in the wild. Be prepared to be woken up to the sound of peacocks or lion roars among other surprises. Deer calls and chirping birds are a constant. It’s tucked away... More

location: Great location adjacent to the Gir forest though not sure how a lodge can share a boundary wall with a Reserve forest. The proximity is of little help at the starting of the safari unless you are given route no 2 as your start point. This lodge is set in a large mango orchard so you can spot birds... More

Gir Birding Lodge is located just off road and adjacent to one of the exit gates at Gir. The inconspicuous nature of its location is what makes it appealing - crowds aren't what you want when on a holiday. The deluxe cottages are best - you are literally in midst of a mango orchard, the night sky so clear this... More

I went to Sasan Gir National Park in May 2011 and i had pre booked Gir Birding Lodge. The best part of pre booking this lodge was that i didn't have to transfer any advance deposit to them and the booking process was very smooth and hassle free. They also added pick and drop service from station on my request.... More

Not the most luxurious of places to stay, the Gir birding lodge certainly makes up for any shortfall by being one of the nicest, and most pleasurable places to stay. Nothing was too much trouble for any of the staff, and Pradeep the manager was obviously as comfortable with all staff members, as they were with him. They all combined... More

Our plan was made only a night before and the best part was I called up at 1130PM night to check availability and Pradeep - The Hotel Manager was so courteous that he gave me all details. I booked for a Standard room with Tariff Rs 3500 per night for a 1 day accommodation. Facts that score high: 1. Courteous... More

When it was recommended by a friend-wild life photographer, we took as first handed information, as we never visited a place o heard of. Our impression was changed once we entered beautifully laid huts near hundreds mango trees. Our all three mornings were freezing (near Jungle area) with endless search for lions in closer by Lion Sanctuary. But we felt... More
