Crocodile Breeding Center 


Gir National Park's fame lies in the Asiatic lions. However, there is another fascinating creature to behold there: the crocodile. The Crocodile Breeding Center in Sasan Gir offers a unique opportunity to observe these reptiles up close. Here you can watch them from tiny hatchlings to their full-fledged adult form which is quite intimidating to behold. The centre is a vital conservation effort, showcasing the delicate balance of the ecosystem and the importance of protecting these creatures. This spot is one of the less visited tourist places in Gir offering a unique experience.
