When you secure your Gir Jungle Trail ticket, you do not pay for everything at once. You buy the official permit online first. Later, you pay for the vehicle and the guide at the Sinh Sadan reception point.
What is the total gir national park safari booking price?
A complete jeep safari costs ₹4,000 to ₹4,500 for Indian citizens and up to ₹10,000 for foreigners.
This total covers a single 6-seater Gypsy vehicle. The price is split across three mandatory parts. You pay the permit fee online. The jeep rental and guide charges are paid locally at the boarding point.
What do you pay online for the permit?
You pay the base permit fee online through the Gujarat Forest Department website.
All permits are issued via the official portal up to 90 days in advance. You must carry the exact original photo ID used during this booking. If you do not have the permit, you cannot enter the forest.
What do you pay at the gate?
You pay the jeep rental and guide fee directly at the Sinh Sadan reception.
No private cars are allowed on the trails. You must hire the forest department's registered vehicles and authorized guides. These local charges combine with your online permit to reach the total cost.
Are camera fees included in the safari cost?
Camera fees are generally not included in base permit prices or packaged tours.
If you bring a camera with a telephoto lens for wildlife photography, you may face extra charges. The exact fee varies. Check the official portal when booking your permit.
How does group size affect the price?
The permit, jeep, and guide are charged per vehicle, not per person.
Each Gypsy holds a maximum of six adults and one child aged 3 to 12. If you travel alone or as a couple, you still pay for the entire jeep. Traveling in a group of six makes the per-person cost much lower.
Can I book a packaged tour instead of paying separately?
Yes, third-party tours bundle the permit, jeep, and guide into one price.
A guided tour covers the forest charges, entry permit, driver, and hotel pickup. This saves you from paying multiple separate fees on the day of the safari. Prices change based on the platform.
