Gir Interpretation Zone
Twelve kilometres from Sasan village at Devalia, within the sanctuary precincts, is the Gir Interpretation Zone, better known as simply ‘Devalia’. The 4.12-sq-km fenced off compound is home to a cross section of Gir wildlife. Chances of seeing lions here are good but stage-managed, and you’re only likely to get 30 to 45 minutes looking for wildlife and only from a bus. Vehicles run here from Sasan Gir’s main street for Rs150. Just in case you were thinking about dashing off into the bushes on the way to Devalia, we had a lioness cross the road in front of us, about 1km from the compound.
