• Jhalana is a paradise for bird lovers, with species such as:
• Indian pitta
• Oriental honey buzzard
• Indian eagle owl
• Peacocks
• Partridges
• Kingfishers

• The rugged Aravalli Hills form a stunning backdrop to the safari, and the landscape is a mix of dense vegetation, dry scrub forests, and open grasslands.

• The safari offers excellent opportunities for wildlife and nature photography, especially during the golden hours of sunrise and sunset.

• The old hunting lodge built during the royal era is another highlight. It provides a panoramic view of the forest and serves as a reminder of Jhalana’s historical significance.

• Located just 10-12 km from central Jaipur, Jhalana Leopard Safari is one of the most easily accessible wildlife reserves in India, making it ideal for a quick getaway.

• Safaris typically run twice a day (morning and evening).
• The best time to visit is during the winter months (October to March) when the weather is pleasant, and wildlife sightings are frequent.
