Do's & Don'ts

Do’s & Don’ts for Tourists

DO’S - What You Should Do

Enter the park only with valid permits and strictly follow all rules and regulations issued by the Forest Department.
Use trained tourist guides authorized by the park. They help you spot wildlife safely and ensure you remain on the correct routes.
Drive slowly and carefully inside the park to observe wildlife without causing disturbance.
Stay on designated routes only. Off-road driving is strictly prohibited.
Maintain a safe distance from wild animals. Remember, you are visiting their natural home.
Enjoy the sounds of nature. Silence increases the chances of wildlife sightings and preserves the forest’s calm.
Wear dull or neutral-coloured clothing to avoid alarming animals.
Dispose of all non-biodegradable waste responsibly and help keep the forest pollution-free.

DON’TS – What You Should Avoid

Do not smoke or light fires anywhere in the forest area. Even a small spark can cause severe damage.
Do not step out of your vehicle inside the park at any time, for your safety and the safety of wildlife.
Do not play loud music or use car stereos while inside the forest.
Do not consume alcohol or visit the sanctuary under its influence. This is strictly prohibited.
Do not litter. Carry all waste back and dispose of it properly outside the forest area.
Do not be disappointed if you don’t spot a lion. Gir is home to many fascinating animals, birds, and plant species worth appreciating.
