Jawai Adventure
Jawai Adventure is where the hills throw the moon out and just as soon absorb its glow onto their gorges; where nomadic Rabari herdsmen are as much a part of the earth’s tales as the mysterious felines that grace these hills and vanish at will into their folds; where pastoral fields meet and merge with wild grasslands and the swells of the Jawai Bandh waters lap at the toes of mighty granite forms; where flamingos flock and cranes in their hundreds dance to springtime sounds. . The Jawai area is home to nearly hundreds of leopard, wolf, chinkara, crocodiles and sloth bears. Jawai region is declared as a leopard conservation zone and bio-diverse area from govt. of India
Jawai- Bera is a small hamlet in the heart of Rajasthan and is a classic habitat for leopards. Over the years this location has become a hotspot for leopard sightings in India and some unique leopard behavior has been documented in this superb landscape of the Aravalli’s towering rock structures, speckled with cacti and scrub vegetation. For decades, these hillocks have been a prime habitat for these cats to thrive in, becoming a great destination for some leopard specific photography. The leopards here live in perfect harmony with the nomadic Rabari tribe thus making Jawai one of the world’s most fascinating stories of peaceful human-leopard co-existence.
Apart from leopards, you can also spot the rare rusty-spotted cat, striped hyena, sloth bear, desert cat, and chinkaras in this landscape.
Best Time To Visit
- Leopard sightings are good throughout the year but November to April is a great time.
- The winter months (November to February) are good for bird photography at the Jawai dam. Flamingos and pelicans are some of the key bird species you can find out there.
