The Gulf of Khambhat (also known as the Gulf of Cambay) is an inlet of the Arabian Sea along the west coast of India, in the state of Gujarat. About 130 kilometres (80 mi) miles in length, it divides the Kathiawar Peninsula in the west from the eastern part of Gujarat, thus separating modern territories of the Asiatic lion and Bengal tiger.
The Narmada, Tapti, Mahi and Sabarmati rivers drain into it. There are plans to construct a 30-kilometre (19 mi) dam across the gulf.
To the west of the Gulf, Indian lions are located in Gir Forest and its vicinity, the region of Kathiawar or Saurashtra. To the east of the Gulf, the region that extends from the districts of Dang and Narmada in southeastern Gujarat, in the west, to Central India in the east, is a potential habitat of the tiger.
