About Jawai Leopard Safari

A Jawai Leopard Safari is one of Rajasthan’s most unique wildlife experiences, set in a landscape unlike any other. This region, with its stunning granite hills, ancient caves, open scrublands, and calm waters of Jawai Bandh, hosts one of the highest densities of wild leopards in India. Jawai stands out because of the unique bond between the leopards and the Rabari community. They have lived together for generations, showing deep respect and harmony.
