Jhalana Leopard Safari Park - Wildlife and safari park in Jaipur - Jaipur, India

I was absolutely astonished to discover that right in the heart of Jaipur City, there exists a leopard safari. The convenience of booking everything online without a hitch was truly impressive. The team behind this venture made exceptional arrangements. In fact, we had the privilege of spotting leopards on more than five occasions during our safari. Special kudos to Rohit Ji, our safari driver, who displayed exceptional skill and knowledge. Our family had an incredible and unforgettable experience thanks to this extraordinary adventure.

Important update: Book this safari via the official Rajasthan wildlife gov website. There are many private websites claiming as official and charging 5x times the original fee. (Gov.in website) https://fmdss.forest.rajasthan.gov.in/ One of a kind jungle that is surrounded by the buzzing pink city - Jaipur. They take you via the Jeep and the drivers are really passionate in animal spotting even though they have been doing it for many years. Attached pic shows the leopard we saw on a watch tower just few mins from entrance. Best time: Evening safaris It gets a bit cold in the open jeep so a jacket is advisable. Go at least one hour before the actual time with the ticket printed out and photo ID. They are punctual and strict. The mini museum outside gives you a lot of info on the area and leopards.

So after a long time since Ranthambore, the bug cats of India did not disappoint us. After a gap of nearly 9 years and countless trips to Jim Corbett, thr Jhalana Leopard Safari came to fruition when the majestic leopard Rana and his partner Chanda graced us with their presence. And short stroll, a make belief mating attempt and a big growl - was enough to entertain the visitors.

It's an excellent option for a short, yet thrilling safari experience.

We booked the tickets for two safaris online through the website. All communication was done via WhatsApp and call which was efficiently done. The price of ticket is 1350Rs per person and it's reasonable priced I feel. We saw 3 leopards and had an exciting jeep ride in this safari.The driver should give more information about the birds also in the jungle. In the process of just having a sighting of leopard the information of other birds/animals isn't given that much. Definitely recommend doing atleast one safari to see the beautiful

We had very good experience. We r group og 7 persons and had book 4 safari.we r very lucky to see leopard. Guide chandra prakash accompany with us id very good guide.

Not worth it at all. Not a single animal was found. Visit a zoo instead. The place is very small, hardly some 10-15 km ride. I don't know if the reviews are purchased or real, but i visited the park on 16th november during evening safari. First of , agents run a very big scam. Beware, the price per person is 784/- don't pay a penny more, no matter what they say. (Even paying 784/- was a waste). Next make sure u get an authentic guide. We were given someone local who used to run e-rickshaw as our driver-cum-guide for the safari. He neither knew the animals, nor the place or the routes. We thought due to a fake guide-cum-driver we did not see any animal. But later we came to know that no one saw any animals, ANY ANIMALS, Not even monkeys. At the end we came across a few nilgai dat too outside the national park borders. Later on enquiring with locals, they said there are no animals over there. All these are scams. Its better to go to ranthambore or some other safari. Overall, on visiting, my personal recommendation will be a big no. Dont waste ur time, energy and money for this place. Its very small and every once in a while u will see buildings and traffic, so forget about the peace and calm of forest. No animals seen. I understand its not possible to have a sighting of leopard always, but some animals should be visible at least deers, nilgais, few birds, monkeys. Here, none could be seen. Its better to visit Ranthambhore, sariska and other safaris. Don't visit here, go a zoo instead.

Worth the visit, especially in the rainy season when you're surrounded by lush green forest and leopards are almost always sighted. Just make sure to cover yourself completely, hands and feet too with socks and shoes as there are a lot of insects/mosquitoes and the bites can lead to severe allergies!!
