    Velavadar will give you a more varied wildlife experience. Besides the blackbucks you’ll spot wolves, hyenas and a whole flock of birds, and the park is open all day so you can time your visit for the best sightings. Gaurishankar Lake is more a scenic spot; wildlife here is limited mainly to some deer and occasional birds, so for a solo trek that focuses on fauna Velavadar is the better choice.
