Velavadar, Blackbuck National Park is situated in the Bhavnagar district of Gujarat. The sanctuary was established in July 1976, the park is located around 42 km from the city of Bhavnagar. Hugging the coasts of the Gulf of Khambhat on the south, it is spread over an area of 34 Sq-km, which was primarily a grassland of the maharaja of the princely state of Bhavnagar for hunting the blackbucks with his famous hunting cheetahs. The best time to visit the sanctuary is early in the morning when chances of seeing the wolves are a lot more. In the day, the blackbucks are easy to spot but the wolves are elusive. The pale gold grassland is dotted with clusters of blackbucks. They move around in gendered groups – the males together, and the females and fawns in their own group.
