I am taking my family to the Gir National Park, and would like to know if there are any hotels within the park premises or a certain boundary of the park area. If there are hotels available, then it would be easy for the kids to experience the wildlife and live in the open area. According to me, I feel that the hotels in the national park would be costlier than the hotels further away from the park. As well as mentioning the hotels please also mention the cost as well. Thank you.
