Leopard Safari Jawai, Rajasthan, is one of the best wildlife experiences in India; the leopard sighting rate is the highest in this part of India, and it is located among the stunning granite rocks and dry, desolate landscapes of the region. This complete guide provides you with all the necessary information, including how to plan your trip, Resort in Jawai and insider tips on how to find these elusive large cats in the wild.
Reasons to Visit Jawai
Jawai has a unique experience of leopard-human interaction; leopards can be seen roaming around villages and dam areas without being fearful of the presence of humans or being located in a restricted area like a national park. The safari drives through rocky terrain, around water bodies and hills; many times, leopards can be seen relaxing on top of large rocks or going hunting during dusk. The area around Jawai has a large amount of grassland, which provides a great habitat for many different species of animals, including crocodiles, birds, and many other types of wildlife, making it an ideal place to see a variety of biodiversity.
Best Time to Visit
October to March is the best time to visit Jawai due to the cooler weather, which allows for the increased amount of leopard activity during the morning (5:30 am – 9:00 am) and evening (4:30 pm – 7:00 pm). For visitors who come during summer (April-June), there will likely be good chances to see leopards near the bodies of water. The extreme heat of summer will limit your comfort level while doing the safari trips; however, during the rainy monsoon season, the landscape will be revitalized due to the rains, and as a result, rain may impede the safaris.
Safari Details
Each safari lasts about 2.5 -3.5 hours and is conducted in open 4X4 trucks. An expert guide/naturalist will accompany you, and the safari will include leopards, temples, and villages. Morning safaris are focused on the period of greatest activity, and breakfast stops will be included. Evening drives complement the morning drive with a break for high tea during the leopard's hunting hours. A full-day safari is also available, where you can do both morning and evening safaris and include a birding element at Jawai Bandh. Safaris booked through local operators are likely to guarantee sightings due to the number of leopards in Jawai.
