There are a few places in India where you can get clear leopard sightings because most of the nationals parks and sanctuaries focus on Tiger and since they are bigger in size, the smaller cats are forced to go to farther areas where tourists generally don’t reach. Another reason is that the leopards are solitary animals and they are mostly found perched or hidden in the branches of the trees. They alight only for the purpose of hunting and take the carcass on the same branches where they eat it without any intervention from hyenas or wild dogs.
A pack of wild dogs and hyenas can snatch the food from the mouth of the leopard and that is the reason the latter has adopted itself to climb trees and mountains. Due to these multiple reasons, leopards become an evasive species and they don’t get the credit they really deserve. Tigers and lions are definitely bigger in size and they certainly look splendid, but when it comes to hunting with stealth, leopards remain one step ahead always. Lately, we have seen quite a few videos of leopards trespassing human settlements and even attacking other animals.
Because of the size and stealthy behavior, leopards are able to reach areas where other big cats cannot. And that’s the reason leopards are even found in hills and mountainous regions where agility is a big factor as strength for a successful kill. Thankfully, we have one such place where you cannot just see leopards, you can observe them very closely in a different environment altogether. We are talking about Jawai, a place in Rajasthan which has become a haven for leopards with distinct geographical attributes.
At this place, you get to see cave-dwelling leopards who freely roam around the granite hills here. Their sighting is not just easy, it is perennial because the big cats are always out looking for food or surveying their areas. Leopards are apex predators in Jawai and they roam about freely here without any fear of being driven out by a bigger cat.
Even if they prefer a solitary life, the close-knit hills and caves have brought a large number of leopards together here. And that is the reason their population is increasing as they can easily hunt down the hyenas and wild dogs.
Leopards are skilled climbers who can traverse the steep rocks of Jawai effortlessly and they have been here for decades now. One more thing that makes the leopards of Jawai special is their familiarity with humans. There are quite a few hill temples in these hill ranges and they are often frequented by the locals and other tourists.
A couple of them are known to be the points where you can see the leopards very easily. The priests of these temples come to these temples in the early morning when the beasts are usually out, the former is unguarded and they come to the shrines alone, and yet, there hasn’t been a single attack on a human being in Jawai for years.
This place is a living example of humans and wild animals living in harmony. The locals believe that the leopards are the guards of their local deity and as if to make this belief stronger, the big cats often come to the surrounding areas of the temple without harming anyone. Jawai is one such place that must be visited by all those people who enjoy seeing wildlife.
Other than the leopards, you also get to see a large variety of birds, along with crocodiles, hyenas, foxes, wolves, jungle cats, nilgai, and some rare species of reptiles and insects as well. It is a perfect place to see the beauty of nature at its best and you should do your safari with someone who knows this place really well.
