Itinerary
On arrival at Diu Airport, our driver will welcome you and transfer to the renowned Gir National Park. Upon arrival check-in at the resort in Gir National Park for dinner and overnight stay.
Experience the thrill of both morning and evening game drives at Gir National Park, the only home to the majestic Asiatic lions. This renowned protected area boasts an impressive range of exotic flora and fauna, with its dry and deciduous forests sheltering over 500 lions and 300 leopards. Gir is a haven for the cat family, including the native Indian leopard. In addition to these big cats, you can spot jackals, hyenas, Indian foxes, and sambar deer. The park is uniquely home to the Chowsingha, or four-horned antelope, the only place in the world where this rare species resides. Other inhabitants include chinkara, wild boar, nilgai, chital, mongoose, honey badger, desert cats, rusty-spotted cats, porcupines, and hares. Gir also supports a significant population of marsh crocodiles, among the 40 species of reptiles and amphibians recorded here. Bird watchers will delight in Gir's rich avian diversity, with over 250 bird species. This biodiversity hotspot attracts wildlife enthusiasts year-round. Dinner and overnight stay at the resort in Gir National Park.
Begin your day early with an exciting morning jeep safari through the dense teak forests and rugged landscapes of Gir National Park, the last abode of the majestic Asiatic Lions. As the golden light breaks over the forest, keep your eyes peeled for lions on the move, playful cubs, grazing herbivores, and a rich variety of birdlife—this is the best time for wildlife photography and rare sightings. Return to the resort for breakfast and some leisure time before heading out again for your afternoon jeep safari, offering another incredible chance to explore deeper zones of the park. The changing light and cooler temperatures bring the forest to life once more, increasing the chances of spotting big cats and other wildlife in action. After an exhilarating day filled with wildlife encounters, return to your resort for dinner and overnight stay.
After breakfast, leave for Diu. Upon arrival, enjoy lunch at a local restaurant. Later, set out to explore the charming coastal town of Diu, beginning with a visit to the majestic Diu Fort, offering panoramic views of the Arabian Sea. Continue to the historic St. Paul’s Church, admired for its exquisite Baroque architecture, and then stroll through the serene Naida Caves, known for their unique rock formations and play of natural light. Relax at Nagoa Beach, where golden sands and calm waters create the perfect setting to unwind. Overnight stay at the hotel in Diu.
After breakfast at the hotel, our driver will transfer you to Diu Airport to board a flight to home or onward journey.
