THE STORY
Gir: a closer look
Gir is associated with the conservation of the Asiatic lion. Its value extends beyond a single species to the wider forest habitat and local environment. Authorised safari arrangements and responsible viewing are essential; wildlife sightings cannot be guaranteed.
Kutch’s textiles and embroidery, Navratri dance traditions and varied vegetarian dishes make cultural experiences central to the journey. Workshops and village visits are most meaningful when local makers explain their own work.
