Sasan Gir, Gujarat

Sleep at the edge of the wild.

Lion's Cave Resort sits where the forest ends and quiet begins — a handful of cave-inspired cottages a few minutes from Gir National Park, the last home of the Asiatic lion.

Our Story

Built into the land, not on top of it

Lion's Cave takes its name from the low sandstone caves that dot this part of Gir — old shelters that once sheltered travellers and, long before that, the forest's own residents. We borrowed that idea: rounded, earth-toned rooms that sit low and quiet against the landscape instead of standing over it.

Every stay here is built around one thing — proximity to Gir Forest. We help you plan safari permits, time your visit around the best sighting hours, and unwind afterwards with slow evenings, home-style Kathiyawadi food, and skies with no city light to compete with.

Where You'll Stay

Three ways to slow down

Each room type is named after a shelter you'd actually find around Gir — from a simple cottage to the cave-facing suite.

Deluxe Cave

Compact mud-finish cottages with a private sit-out, built for couples and solo travellers passing through for a safari.

Canvas Cave

Raised, wide-window rooms facing the tree line — named after the watchtowers used for spotting wildlife.

Cave Cottage

Our largest rooms, with a rounded cave-mouth window, a sit-out deck, and the quietest corner of the property.

While You're Here

Built around the forest's clock

Gir runs on early mornings and quiet evenings — our day plans follow the same rhythm.

Gir Safari Booking

We help you secure permits for the right zone and time slot, and arrange the pickup for your gypsy.

Bonfire & Folk Evenings

Kathiyawadi folk music and a bonfire on select evenings, right on the property lawn.

Nature & Bird Walks

Guided walks around the property's edge for early risers — Gir's bird count runs into the hundreds.

Stargazing Deck

No city light for miles — clear nights here are worth staying up for.

On the Table

Home-style Kathiyawadi, cooked slow

Meals here are simple and regional — thali-style Kathiyawadi food, bonfire dinners under the open sky, and tea whenever you want it, not just when the menu says so.
