Yup, very cool, especially taking into account that forest rangers caught me and wanted to charge me 2000 rupees fine for "entering the teritory of the national park without permission" but after couple of days they forgot about the case....  Yes, followed the railway till the bridge and than turn right following the river in order to be sure that will be not lost. For sure when you see a lion or tiger from feet due to fear they look gigantic..., I climbed on the tree and spent there around half hour (already wrote somewhere, you forgot). But you should not fear Gir lions - towards humans they do not behave like really wild lions allowing walking man to get up to 8-10 meters from them without fear and in same time they don't behave like captive, zoo lions, because if you enter the lions in the zoo cage they will kill you for sure. Gir lions are kind of semi-domestic, trained, no fear and no aggression. I'll repeat my opinion that from all protected areas in India Gir is probably least welcoming tourists and visitors, kind of closed entity. The theory that Gujarat will lose money from touristic industry sharing its lions with MP is incorrect because is doubtfull that Gujaratis earn any significant money from tourists, they seems don't like them. At least that was the situation back in 90's. ( @Sanju ) |
