Welcome to Jawai: The Land of Leopards

With the pleasant sun beating down, Rajasthan becomes the go-to weekend destination during this time of the year. And for a nature lover or wildlife enthusiast, there are plenty of destinations in Rajasthan. When it comes to wildlife sanctuaries in Rajasthan, most travelers cannot think beyond the popular Ranthambore National Park or Sariska National Park. But booking hotels at such popular destinations, during the rush season can be a daunting task. So, the situation calls out loud for moving beyond the beaten trail and exploring an unexplored wildlife sanctuary in Rajasthan. Yes, we are referring to Jawai here!

Highlights of Jawai

Situated in the Pali district of Rajasthan, and bordered by the Aravallis, Jawai is a perfect destination for the nature lovers, adventure seekers or ones who just want to spend some time in solitude. Far from the madding crowds, of popular tourist destinations in Rajasthan, Jawai is the perfect place to unwind and relax with your family or friends. The biggest attraction of a tour to Jawai is of course a chance to witness leopards in their natural habitat!

Millions of years ago, the rocky terrain of Jawai was formed through lava. As a result, Jawai's landscape is blessed with amazing natural caves and rock shelters, which never fail to intrigue the travelers. These hills are the perfect hideouts for leopards and Indian striped hyenas. Apart from this, Jawai Dam (known as Jawai Bandh in local dialect) houses thousands of migratory birds, during this time of the year. That is not all, Jawai Bandh is also a conservation area for crocodiles!
