Meet India's first female forest rangers
India鈥檚 first female forest rangers are based at the Gir National Park in Gujarat.
The park is the only natural home of the Asiatic lion which is smaller and paler than its African relatives.
The unarmed rangers cover an average of 25km (15 miles) a day and have to deal with venomous snakes, leopards, poachers and lions.
The 主播大秀 Travel Show鈥檚 Rajan Datar meets some of the rangers and finds out about a close encounter one of them had with a lion when they had recently started the job.
