The Postcard Wildlife

Sixteen acres of mango orchards amid the raw, untamed, and unmistakably wild forest of Gir
reveal the contrasts and pleasures of staying at The Postcard Gir. The fifteen rooms offer
plenty of privacy ensuring that the only sounds you hear are the sounds of migrating birds, or
of course, the unmistakable roar of a welcoming lion. Just the place to ponder life’s big
questions. Like which salad to have for lunch. You get the picture.
About Home

PREMIER ROOM
Lush mango orchards and the rugged forest beyond stretch out like a lazy day the moment
you draw the curtains in our Premier Room. Turn around, and you’ll find a room that’s bathed
in space and light, along with finer details that reveal themselves soon after you check in.

LUXURY ROOM
High ceilings, neutral tones and surprising design touches set the tone for a room that’s
understated yet rich in character. Just as well. The rooms are designed to frame the wild
riches beyond. A private patio ensures that you don’t have to go very far to take in the
scenery.

DINING
Fun fact: Khichdi, which found favour among the Mughals, is in fact a Persian import. More
surprises lay in store as you flick through our menu that acknowledges the region’s wider
Parsi influence (Salli Boti, for instance) as well its more local ones. Including fresh pomfret
from Veraval, the classic Gujarati thali, or of course, Khichdi.

Things To Do
THE GIR JUNGLE SAFARI
Home to 700 lions at last count, a sighting of the majestic Asiatic lion during one of our
safaris is all but guaranteed. It gets better. On your day out, you’re also likely to spot some
unexpected friends – leopards, blue bulls, wild boars, jackals, and perhaps a few of the over
300 birds native to the region. Welcome to the jungle.

DIU DAY
Water babies, pack your sunnies. We’re driving to the pristine, unspoilt, and frankly,
underrated beach in Diu. In fact, we’re going to make a day of it. First stop, is the fabulously
opulent Portuguese church of St. Paul’s, said to be one of the most elaborate in India. Other
treats include a specially curated meal at a secret location overlooking the sea, and of
course, an evening dip in the sea.

NATURE TRAIL AMIDST THE FOREST
The Gir forest is a world of riches known and unknown. No one is perhaps more aware of this
than naturalist, and authorised guide of the National Park, Tamsi Bhai Langha. A trail with him
ensures you come away seeing the forest in a completely new light, as he talks you through
the lesser known flora, fauna, and general wildlife of the region. The trail ends with
refreshments and a quick stop at the Hiran river, to pay a visit to the crocodiles. True story.

SIDDHI DHAMAL DANCE
A stay at The Postcard Gir is full of surprises. Case in point, the utterly absorbing Siddhi
Dhamal dance. Legend has it that the Siddhi tribe settled in Gujarat decades ago when the
Maharaja of Junagadh brought them in from Tanzania. Even though Gir is now their home,
they’ve managed to keep parts of their culture alive. Cue dance. By the pool. And a specially
curated dinner.
