We had a memorable time in Delhi and Agra, and thoroughly enjoyed the experience of seeing the city and the countryside as we traveled between the two cities. The sites were amazing, as expected, and our guides were able and helpful in explaining what we were seeing and answering our many questions. They did a great job of ensuring we were able to get great photos as well along the way.

Alkof Holidays was a very good choice for arranging an individual journey throughout Darjeeling, Sikkim and Bhutan in November 2025. The planning via e-mail was easy and turned out to be perfect. The whole tour was professionally organized and included all important points of interest as well as our individual preferences. The guides and drivers in Darjeeling/Sikkim as well as in Bhutan were very nice, helpful and competent. Mr. Sanjeev Kumar himself was at all times very polite, kind and accommodating. Thank you! I can highly recommend Alkof Holidays!

First, I want to highlight that ALKOF HOLIDAYS truly deserves more than 5 stars!

First, I want to highlight that ALKOF HOLIDAYS truly deserves more than 5 stars!... First, I want to highlight that ALKOF HOLIDAYS truly deserves more than 5 stars! When my friend Elisabeth and I decided to take this trip, Mr. Sanjeev Kumar contacted us — and that turned out to be the best choice we could have made! He suggested different hotels, recommended excursions, and always ensured we had options that met our expectations and complete satisfaction. He customized the tour according to our wishes in the best possible way. He arranged highly competent, pleasant, friendly, and helpful guides and drivers with excellent cars. They always accepted all our ‘extra wishes,’ such as photo stops or changes in the planned schedule, and were always exactly on time. Mr. Gurvinder Singh gave us a wonderfully informative tour in Kolkata. During our days in Darjeeling, we had Mr. Amid Gurung, who was extremely caring, helpful, and always adjusted the excursions—especially those involving many steps or steep climbs—to my age (79). He supported me with great caution by holding my arm or hand whenever needed. Our driver, Mr. Binai, was the best driver you could imagine, especially considering the road conditions—landslides, rocks, roadwork, heavy traffic—but he handled everything perfectly and calmly! In Bhutan, our guide Mr. Sungay was such a pleasant companion and shared a lot about the country, its people, religion, and lifestyle. Our driver Ellis was also very kind, but Elisabeth somehow did not feel comfortable with his driving (although I did not agree!). So, we changed to Mr. Rimchen, another extremely kind, helpful, charming, pleasant, and excellent driver. We had a wonderful and very interesting trip with extraordinary views of mountains, monasteries, temples, tea estates, forests, rivers, flowers, and beautiful houses. We met unforgettable, kind people — and to top it all, we enjoyed blue skies and warm sunshine every single day! Mr. Sanjeev Kumar was always reachable whenever needed. Even when we returned to Delhi, he accompanied us to an extraordinary fabric factory that my friend wanted to visit. He arranged a car for the visit and organized a bigger vehicle for our return to the airport to accommodate all our luggage. Thanks to ALKOF HOLIDAYS, and especially to Mr. Sanjeev Kumar — who spent so much time and effort arranging our reservations, visas, and all the special extras — we look back on a wonderful trip we will never forget. We will continue to enjoy all the photos we took! We will certainly recommend ALKOF HOLIDAYS to all our friends and family who are interested in tours to Southeast Asia. Once again, my sincere thanks and best regards to Alkof Holidays! Sylvia Veronika Lukas

Lion Safari Travel FAQs

Asiatic lions live only in Gir Forest National Park and Wildlife Sanctuary in Gujarat, India. This 1,412 square kilometer protected area is the last place on Earth where these lions exist in the wild. The park covers dry deciduous forests, grasslands, and scrublands - perfect habitat for these big cats. Around 29 villages exist within the sanctuary boundaries, creating a unique human-wildlife coexistence model. At Alkof Holidays, we arrange guided safaris through different zones of Gir to maximize your chances of spotting these rare lions.

Asiatic lions are famous because they're one of the world's rarest big cats, found only in one location on Earth. Once roaming from Turkey to India, hunting and habitat loss reduced them to just 20 individuals in the 1900s. Their recovery to 674 lions represents one of conservation's greatest success stories. Physical differences from African lions include smaller manes, a distinctive belly fold, and slightly smaller size. They hold deep cultural significance in Indian heritage, appearing on the national emblem and currency. At Alkof Holidays, our naturalist guides explain these unique characteristics during your Gir safari experience.

The 2020 census recorded 674 Asiatic lions across the Gir landscape. This represents growth from 411 lions in 2010. The population includes 288 adult females, 197 adult males, and 189 cubs. Some lions now roam beyond park boundaries into areas like Girnar Wildlife Sanctuary. Gir remains the only place on earth where Asiatic lions survive in the wild, making it a critical conservation area.
November to March provides the optimal conditions for lion safaris. December and January offer comfortable temperatures between 10-25°C with clear skies. February and March see increased wildlife activity around water sources as temperatures begin rising. The park remains closed from June 16 to October 15 due to monsoon rains and breeding season. April and May experience extreme heat reaching 42°C, making safari drives uncomfortable. Most tour packages schedule Gir visits during the December to February window.

Safari permits for Satpura Tiger Reserve can be booked online through the official forest department portal up to 120 days in advance. Morning and afternoon slots are available with separate entry gates. Tours typically include advance permit booking, forest guide assignment, and vehicle arrangements. Peak season bookings from December to April fill quickly.

A lion safari in India means visiting Gir National Park in Gujarat to see Asiatic lions in their natural habitat. These safaris happen in open-top jeeps that take you through designated forest routes over 2-3 hours. Unlike African safaris, Indian lion safaris focus specifically on the last remaining population of Asiatic lions - about 674 individuals. The experience includes spotting lions, leopards, deer, and over 300 bird species. At Alkof Holidays, we book your safari permits in advance and provide experienced naturalist guides who know the best spots for lion sightings.

A minimum of 2 days allows for 3-4 safari sessions, significantly improving your chances of spotting Asiatic lions. Most visitors stay 3 days for 5-6 safaris across different zones like Sasan, Devalia, and Kamleshwar. Each safari lasts 3 hours with morning sessions starting at 6 AM and evening sessions at 2:30 PM. The park offers both jeep safaris and the Devalia Safari Park for guaranteed lion sightings. At Alkof Holidays, we typically recommend 3 days to explore multiple zones and include cultural visits to nearby Somnath Temple.

Gir National Park hosts over 38 mammal species beyond Asiatic lions. Indian leopards, spotted deer, sambar, nilgai, and wild boar are commonly sighted. The park shelters 300+ bird species including crested serpent eagles, painted storks, and paradise flycatchers. Marsh crocodiles inhabit the Kamleshwar Dam area. You might spot striped hyenas, jackals, and jungle cats during night safaris. The diverse landscape ranges from teak forests to grasslands supporting this rich wildlife. At Alkof Holidays, we arrange safaris across different zones to maximize wildlife encounters beyond just lion sightings.

Safari permits must be booked online through the Gujarat Forest Department website or at the park office. Permits are released 120 days in advance and often sell out quickly during peak season. You need to provide ID proof and choose specific time slots and zones. Indian citizens pay different rates than foreign nationals. The booking system opens at 6 AM daily for new date releases. At Alkof Holidays, we handle all permit bookings as part of your package, securing your preferred dates and safari zones well in advance to avoid disappointment.

Pack neutral-colored clothing in khaki, brown, or olive green to blend with the forest environment. Bright colors can disturb wildlife and are discouraged. Bring a hat, sunglasses, and sunscreen for sun protection during open jeep safaris. Comfortable closed-toe shoes are essential for walking in the forest. Carry a good camera with zoom lens, extra batteries, and memory cards. Binoculars enhance wildlife viewing experience. Include insect repellent, a light jacket for early morning safaris, and a water bottle. At Alkof Holidays, we provide a detailed packing checklist with your safari booking confirmation.
