Leopard Country — Rajasthan's wildest secret.
Jawai Bandh is Rajasthan's most exciting leopard safari destination. The granite hills around the Jawai Dam are home to one of India's highest densities of leopards living alongside the Rabari pastoral tribe — a unique coexistence of big cats and humans.
Unlike tiger reserves, leopards in Jawai are not confined to a national park. They roam freely across the granite hills and farmland, coexisting with the Rabari tribe. The Jawai Dam is also home to crocodiles, flamingos and over 200 species of birds. This makes Jawai a unique wildlife destination that combines leopard sightings with cultural immersion.
RUDVO offers curated Jawai tour packages with heritage stays, private transfers, and expert-guided sightseeing. Every itinerary is built around your dates, budget and preferences.
