Jhalana Leopard Reserve
झालाना लेपर्ड रिज़र्व
A leopard reserve within the city. Jeep safaris offer a good chance of spotting wild Indian leopards, and it has become a new popular experience in Jaipur.
Jhalana Reserve lies just south of central Jaipur. It covers about 20 square kilometres and is home to around 40 Indian leopards, as well as hyenas, jackals, nilgai and many bird species, and its high leopard density has earned it the nickname 'City of Leopards.' Safaris run in the early morning and afternoon, each lasting about 2.5 to 3 hours, in open-top jeeps. Advance booking through the official Rajasthan government website is required, and fees for foreigners are higher (check the official site for details). It is about 10 km from the old city, and hotels can arrange bookings and transfers.
