Exploring the Rich Biodiversity of Jhalana Leopard Safari Park

Jhalana Leopard Safari Park offers more than just its famed leopards, showcasing a rich variety of flora and fauna. The rugged landscape and arid environment create a unique ecosystem that supports a range of wildlife.

Scrub Vegetation: The park’s terrain consists mainly of rocky surfaces and scrub vegetation. Thorny bushes, resilient shrubs, and hardy plants adapted to Rajasthan’s dry conditions dominate the landscape.

Trees and Grasses: While scrub vegetation is prevalent, certain areas also feature scattered trees and patches of grass. These provide essential cover and food for herbivores, playing a crucial role in the park’s biodiversity.

Leopards: Known for its thriving leopard population, Jhalana offers a rare opportunity to see these elusive predators. The park’s rocky surroundings provide an ideal habitat for leopards to flourish.

Blue Bulls (Nilgai): The park is also home to the nilgai, or blue bull, Asia’s largest antelope. These herbivores are frequently spotted grazing across the park’s open spaces.

Spotted Deer (Chital): Another common herbivore in Jhalana is the spotted deer, or chital, which serves as a key prey species for the leopards.

Birdlife: Jhalana is a haven for birdwatchers, offering the chance to see a variety of bird species, from raptors to waterfowl, and both resident and migratory birds.

Reptiles: Jhalana’s wildlife extends to reptiles as well, with species like monitor lizards, snakes, and other lizards making the park their home.

About Us

Amargarh safari was organised by Pavan Ji who is a kind hearted person and will guide you to booking smoothly. The sanctuary is a dry deciduous forest with about 15 leopards and hence making them hard to spot. Our guide and driver, Mukeshji was very knowledgeable and an amazing person. He drove us to have a magnificent sighting of a Hyena and we had a good view right in front of our gypsy. Other than this, we spotted a few variety of birds along with an anxious 10 min drama where the guide sensed presence of a female leopard. We could see fresh pug marks but it didn’t give us any FaceTime. Going to any sanctuary is a gamble for sighting animals. We should enjoy the nature and variety of other species and the way the jungle lives. Pro tip - take the morning safari only and be the first jeep to enter to spot any animal.

We had a very different and a great experience at the Jhalana Leopard safari. A very different side to Jaipur tourism. Thanks to Mr. Chandel for seamless booking experience and Manraj bhai, our driver, for patiently driving around till we finally got a sighting.

Prateek Patial

Our Ranger was well informed about the Avifauna, wildlife in the park and in general very cordial. He specially took care of our children and answered their curious questions with patience.

We spotted a single female leopard and it was a good experience despite the weather being non-cooperative. Overall a great day out in the wild. Another reason why Jaipur is special.
