The scenic allure of Jawai intensifies with the evening sun casting its glow on the hills. Conducted around 3:00 pm - 4:00 pm till 6:00 pm (timings vary slightly in winters & summers), the evening safari provides a captivating experience. Opting for an evening Jawai Safari Booking allows you to capture the panoramic beauty of Jawai from a cliff during sunset, creating an astonishingly beautiful memory.
Jawai Leopard Safari and Zones
Jawai Leopard Safari tops the list among the activities in Jawai Bandh. There are no well-defined safari gates or safari zones, unlike the other national parks in India. However, there are 180 safari jeeps, operating inside the property. There are no safari guides but the drivers are aptly learned and well-versed with the surrounding areas, such that the drivers can almost appropriately anticipate the sighting of leopards. There are around 40-50 leopards, that call Jawai their home. One of the unique characteristics of the leopards at Jawai is if they are sighted at a particular spot, then the leopard will be present in the same area almost throughout the day.
Although leopards are nocturnal animals, but at Jawai, these fauna species can be sighted any time of the day. Jeep safaris are conducted in the morning and evening shifts. However, the chances of sighting leopards are higher in the evening.
Safari Timing- Morning - 6:00 am onwards, Evening - 3:30 pm to 6:00 pm, (Time for leopard safari varies according to the seasons)

The hillocks, tranquil caves, and the presence of the Jawai River and dam collectively form an ideal habitat for leopards to roam and flourish.
