About Jhalana Leopard Reserve
About 20 square kilometres of dry Aravalli scrub inside the city limits, with a dense leopard population that has been habituated to jeeps since safaris began in 2017. Sightings are among the most reliable anywhere in India, often in the first hour. Hot months are actually good for sightings around the waterholes. Two slots daily; book on the forest department portal.
