A government-run guesthouse in the Sasan Gir forest complex, the cheapest option near the safari gate. Book in advance via Gujarat Tourism.
Sinh Sadan is a government-run guesthouse in the Sasan Gir forest complex in Junagadh district, Gujarat, India, operated under Gujarat Tourism. It is among the closest accommodation options to the Sasan Gir safari gate and the forest department offices, which makes it convenient for early-morning jeep safaris into Gir National Park, the only wild home of the Asiatic lion. Sasan Gir village has its own railway station, and Junagadh is roughly 60 km away, with Somnath around 45 km. The setting is forested and quiet, with garden grounds and the sounds of the nearby forest, and the character is that of a simple state-run lodge rather than a private luxury resort. Rooms are offered as Standard Rooms and AC Rooms, so guests can choose according to budget and season, and amenities include a restaurant, a garden and air conditioning in the AC category. Dining is typically vegetarian Gujarati and North Indian food, usually set-menu style, and guests should not expect extensive choices; packed meals for safari mornings are commonly requested. There is no spa, pool or business centre, and wifi is not listed among the amenities. Service is basic but functional, and staff are familiar with the safari routine. Rates commonly run from INR 2,500 to 4,500 per night, the cheapest in the forest complex, and demand is high in the winter season, so advance booking through Gujarat Tourism is advised. It suits budget-minded wildlife visitors who prioritise proximity to the safari gate over comfort extras. Gir's monsoon closure runs from mid-June to mid-October.
