Jawai – The Hills of Leopards

Hidden in plain sight amongst the various tourist destinations of Rajasthan are Jawai hills, the royal state’s best-kept secret. Part of the Aravalli Range of mountains, the bare granite hills are home to leopards along with other wild animals. Formed from volcanic activity over millions of years, the Jawai leopard hills are one of the few places in India where you can spot the majestic big cat roaming around freely during the day time.

Surrounded by the Jawai dam and grasslands, the hills of Jawai offer a scenic setting to spot wildlife in its natural habitat.

The Jawai leopard hills are unique. There is no dense vegetation around, unlike other wildlife reserves in India. The topography of the region makes it a Godsend for wildlife photographers. You can spot leopards and other big game here without too much getting in your way. Despite the sparse flora of the region, it is teeming with all sorts of animals.

At Jawai leopard hills, you can spot striped hyenas, jungle cats, sloth bears, nilgai, and crocodiles. And of course, there are the Jawai leopards, the cave-dwelling big cats of the region. The hills of Jawai also attract a lot of migratory birds. Birdwatchers can spot Asian openbill stork, black ibis, ruddy shelduck, and Oriental Magpie Robin, among other species of birds, here.
