Leopard Safari at Jhalana

Arrival at Jaipur Airport the Capital City of Rajasthan in India. Our representative will escort you to luxury hotel for check in. The evening safari is also scheduled for today and after lunch and brief nap we will proceed into the forest reserve.

Jhalana is at a distance of just 9 km from Jaipur City and is home to thirty leopards all living in the wild. The focus here is the leopard in an area of 24 sq.km. We will score the safari in an open jeep with a guide and the driver.  

The evening safari is an introduction to Jhalana Reserve Forest which is now sort of a sanctuary and organized tourism with the help of forest department takes place in the morning and evening. A set of rules and regulation makes the safari exciting and safe.

The core focus here is of course the leopard sightings with high rate of success. This animal is also known as the panther. This is one of the best places in India to see this big cat in its natural environment.

Today two safaris have been organized one in the morning and another in the evening post lunch.  Since the big cat is easily sighted we will choose to photograph it in varied light conditions and with varied landscape as back ground. This will heighten our experience four fold.

Jhalana is home to other mammals, plenty of birds and some reptiles besides the ubiquitous insects.  We would strive to see animals like the striped hyena and the desert fox. The forest is also home to number of chital deer and langur monkeys which are the main prey base of the leopards. Less seen animals are the civet cats and the mongoose.

Another striking feature of this forest is the forest village which is on the periphery and the human animal interaction and coexistence is worth having a peak at.

We will enjoy the serenity of the starry nights with some refreshing beverages and snacks. Fine dining will follow before we lie down to sleep.

Today we will enter the reserve forest in the wee hours of the morning to have a fresh look at the leopards and other wild animals. Birding is at peak and we will keep an eye for striking feathers like the Indian Pitta, India Courser and the common Peacock. This is our last safari and we make the most of by with catching some striking images in our cameras.

Those with time in hand can also book for the evening safari;
