Meeting Blackbucks, the Sweetest Ones
As far as sanctuaries go, Velavadar in Gujarat is the sweetest one. It is home to Blackbucks, beautiful members of the deer family. Velavadar has the highest concentration of the endangered Blackbuck anywhere. The open grasslands of Velavadar suit the Blackbucks just fine. The reserve has no predators like tigers and lions – leaving the animals largely free from danger. Romance blooms, and the population increases.
After Blackbucks, the highest population in Velavadar is of Indian Antelopes, known as Nilgai or Blue Bull. You can also expect to see Wild Boars, Hyenas, Wolves, Jungle Cats and many other species of animals and birds. Off the tourist circuit, visitors can enjoy the sights with minimal disturbance.

Is Kaziranga the best national park in India? Most wildlife enthusiasts would answer with a resounding yes. The reserve is no less than a carnival of animals and birds living amidst forests, tall grasses, reeds, marshes and shallow pools. It was designated a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1985.
Last home to the Asiatic Lions
If you believe the true king of the jungle is the lion and would like to meet one, you can only do so at the Gir National Park in Gujarat. This is the home to the last of the Asiatic lions on the planet.
Of course, Gir has much more to offer than just lions. Allow your wishlist to expand beyond just lion sightings, and you will be impressed with the rich flora and fauna of the forest. Join me in my safari to see for yourself.
