by Big Jump in Visitors
Sasan Gir, March 27, 2025 – Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s jungle safari at Gir National Park has sparked a massive 18% rise in tourist numbers! His visit on March 3, 2025, for World Wildlife Day, put the spotlight on this Gujarat gem, home to the Asiatic lion. Just weeks later, the 2025 tourist boom is clear, with families and wildlife fans flocking to see what drew the PM here.
Modi’s Safari Magic
The PM’s safari wasn’t just a photo op – it was a game-changer. Dressed in a camo outfit, Modi roamed Gir’s forests, snapping pics of lions and sharing them online. His post urging folks to visit Sasan Gir hit home – posts on X show bookings spiked right after. This 2025 boost proves his star power can move crowds to explore nature.
Gir’s Growing Fame
Sasan Gir, the last wild home of Asiatic lions, was already special, but now it’s buzzing. The 18% tourist surge comes from new facilities like a wildlife hospital and better trails, all highlighted during Modi’s visit. Locals say daily visitors jumped from hundreds to thousands, making 2025 a blockbuster year for the park.
Numbers Tell the Tale
Before Modi’s trip, Gir saw steady crowds, but nothing like this. Posts on X from outlets like Zee24Kalak peg the rise at over 18%, with some saying nearby Barda Safari doubled its visitors too. The 2025 surge ties straight to the PM’s call – people want to see the lions he raved about in Sasan Gir.
What’s Next for Gir?
This tourist boom means more jobs and cash for Gir’s locals, but it’s not all smooth. Park officials are now planning to handle the rush without stressing the lions. With Modi’s push and 2025’s spotlight, Sasan Gir could become India’s top wildlife stop – if it keeps the balance right!
