- The lodge has a common boundary with Gir National Park; hence, you get a precursor of what you might experience in the safaris by listening to the calls of the wild.
- The birdwatching trails and nature walks are led by in-house naturalists, providing you with closer glimpses of the orchard and the forest edge.
- Wilderness takes on a new form at night; our specialists lead nocturnal walks to explore species such as nightjars and owls.
- Our standalone cottages are situated in the heart of the orchards, hence unlocking a wonderful opportunity for you to explore the natural landscape of the lodge.
- Exotic locations such as the Junagarh monuments and the Girnar Ropeway are situated at a commutable distance from the lodge. You can cover these easily by choosing to stay at Gir Birding Lodge.
- These trails ensure that you become a part of the rural ecology of the region rather than being just a visitor experiencing it.
- Supports such as walking sticks and staff support are always available to make these trails comfortable.
