This looks like such an incredible weekend trip that was worth the long drive! You got some amazing shots, and I love the ones that highlight how well many of the birds are camouflaged, especially the stone-curlew and the Mottled Wood Owl. The lions are stunning and that’s amazing that their numbers have been restored, however as you say, development projects do obviously pose a risk to their future. The few people who live within the park and herd cattle must have such a unique perspective and I can’t imagine how fearless they must be! Thanks for sharing this adventure!

Along with a fervent desire to see tigers, I have had Gir National Park on my bucket list because as you pointed out, it is the only place in the world where you can view Asiatic lions. So awesome you were rewarded with the opportunity to see and photograph so many. The old man of the park, even if a bit scarred, looked majestic.

We loved this article. It is so beautiful and refreshing to see wild flora and fauna in their natural habitat. And it is appalling how most of us do not care about that sort of honest beauty anymore. Awareness is key and we love how you are spreading the message and contributing. We too, hope to do it in some manner. Also, loved the photographs, it must be such a rush to see all of them live, from near. Thanks so much for sharing 🙂

I have not heard of this park and how awesome that you got to see so many animals out in the wild. I too like that bird’s name Tickell’s blue flycatcher 🙂 So sad that one lion was injured due to a territorial fight, but that is nature and you can’t interfere with it. Your photos came out fantastic too. My favorite is the one with the lion walking alongside the railroad tracks.

In reply to Patricia. If you want to see tigers, you have better chances of spotting one in Madhya Pradesh state rather than Kerala. I'd recommend Bandhavgarh or Tadoba. I am sure you'll have loads of luck there.

What a fantastic experience! I did not know that lions slept for such long hours each day and still remain King of the Jungle. They’re such beautiful creatures, they have my full respect. It was interesting reading your tips at the bottom, like not pointing out birds to protect them from prey. I’d never even thought of that. This whole tour sounds amazing.
