It was a hot summer morning in the national capital. We started our journey from Bikaner House, spread over an 8-acre plot in Lutyens' Delhi, a former residence of the Maharajah of Bikaner, now a cultural hub for folk, classical and contemporary music, owned by the Government of Rajasthan.
As the car ran through the NH 48, the excited souls inside were more than prepared to brave the hot and humid days ahead. The mission was to explore and experience the wildlife of the Land of Maharajas.
Jaipur -Jhalana Leopard Safari
The first destination was of course, the state capital Jaipur- a city that never gets boring, no matter how many times you visit. Excited, we made sure to reach on time at the gate of Jhalana Leopard safari. A 9-10 km drive from the heart of the city would take you to this amazing landscape of 23 sq km radius. Jhalana Leopard Safari Park is not only home to 3035 leopards but it is also a safe haven for Striped Hyenas, Desert Fox, Golden Jackal, Chital, Indian Palm, Nilgai, Civets etc. Jhalana is also a surprise package for bird watchers. A home to a number of familiar and rare species of birds that includes Indian Pitta, Dusky Eagle, Owl, Spotted Owlet, short-eared owl, northern goshawk etc.
You will be enthralled by the unique landscape of rocky Aravalli on one side and a forest of evergreen and deciduous trees stretching out on the other. North of Jhalana is the Amagarh Reserve Forest, which is separated from Jhalana by a busy National Highway. The western and the southern boundary of the Jhalana forest adjoin the heavily populated suburbs of Jaipur City, and the eastern boundary has villages and new settlements.

National Parks Of India
India is blessed with a rich tapestry of biodiversity that is both a natural heritage and a national treasure. The concept of national parks in the country traces back to the late 19th century when the importance of conserving wildlife began to take root in the consciousness of the colonial administration. The first national park in India, Hailey National Park (now known as Rajaji National Park), was established in 1936, marking a historic commitment to wildlife conservation. The post-independence era saw an exponential increase in protected areas, primarily driven by a need to conserve India’s unique flora and fauna threatened by rampant industrialization and urbanization.
