Devalia Interpretation Zone

Devalia Interpretation Zone

Fenced Gir Interpretation Zone near Devalia offering shorter bus or gypsy safaris with strong chances of lion sightings.

Devalia Interpretation Zone, also called Devalia Safari Park or Gir Interpretation Zone, is a fenced 412 hectare area about 12 km from Sasan Gir that recreates the Gir forest habitat. Asiatic lions, leopards, deer, nilgai and other animals live here in large enclosures, so sightings are close to certain, making it a good option for families and short visits.

Devalia is closed every Wednesday. It runs gypsy rides of about 55 minutes, starting each hour from 7 AM to 10 AM and from 3 PM to 5 PM, and mini bus rides of about 30 minutes between 7:30 AM and 11 AM and between 3 PM and 5 PM. In October 2026 the official portal listed bus tickets for Indians at ₹150 on weekdays and ₹190 at weekends. Book only on girlion.gujarat.gov.in.
