Looking back: a memorable trip to Gir

Hello, Local Guides!

I was going through my photos and saw my old picture from my trip to the forest of Gir National Park situated in Gujarat, it is popularly known for the Lions.

It was a memorable trip for me as I got a chance to explore the wildlife and unplugged from the technology since there was no network in a forest,
I visited with my office collogues to Gir and explore the wildlife

We were fortunate to sight some lions and lioness closely; it was a great experience to see them I just took the opportunity to capture some great shots.
We were in a jeep accompanied by the forest officer, moving ahead we spotted many deers around they were roaming around in a forest
Moving a little ahead we spotted a beautiful peacock the beautiful colors grabbed my attention.

That night we stayed in tents and had a campfire it was a day away from technology a day in wild and with nature, the night sky looked beautiful with stars and moonlight.
This trip was a great refresher waiting to visit again soon.

Thank You
