An absolutely tranquil place without the trapping of the commercial hotels. An excellent place to unwind coupled by Mr. Pradip's hospitality. Mr. Pradip along with his boys make a great team who are ever ready to take care of every need of the guests. Gir Birding Lodge set amidst a serene mango orchard offers a perfect getaway. I was there... More

We stayed here while visiting the Lions nearby, and had fabulous sightings. Lovely accommodations in an intimate setting, delicious food, and extremely attentive staff. Highly recommended and would go back in a heartbeat. Thank you Pradip ji for a wonderful stay. Stayed 30 april 2013, travelled with family. Mayank srivastava

The second name of GBL should be nature. It’s lovely infrastructure provides complete privacy and makes us feel closest to nature and more so as it is located right next to the Gir National Park even sharing the common boundary wall with it. The deluxe rooms are situated in the middle of mango plantation and they are very comfortable, spacious... More

I have been visiting Gir and Gir Birding Lodge for almost 6 years now and at least twice a year and this is one property which has... More

Three of us visited Gir National Park in March 2013 with the express purpose of spotting Lions. The Gir Birding Lodge however disappointed us as they provided no assistance in booking the safaris or even helping us get to the booking office 2 km away! We had to walk the distance at 4AM on a road which has history of... More

A very homely place located strategically next to the Gir National Park. The cottages are spaced evenly in between mango orchards. We were the only occupants when we visited the lodge and the two days we spent there was like a home away from home. Home cooked fresh food along with the option of fruits are provided. The tariff is... More

Gir Birding Lodge is a relief as it is quiet, green and bordering the National park itself. So 4 stars for location and ambience. (Other resorts around its periphery generally looked garish) Service is excellent, though we would have liked it if there was a little bit more of personal touch at the beginning, with someone in charge coming across...
