JAWAI Leopard Camp Rajasthan, India

Set amid the untamed wilderness of Rajasthan and between the old kingdoms of Jodhpur and Udaipur, Jawai Leopard Camp offers the only experience of its kind in the ancient Aravalli Range: a land shared by humans and animals. Eight luxurious tented suites are appointed with traditional crafts, each with a private deck with unobstructed views of the landscape: craggy hills, grasslands and winding sandy riverbeds where leopards roam free. ‘We are at one with nature, we are not separate identities. This is what makes Jawai special,’ the resort claims (there’s Wi-Fi and air con, too). Attentive staff tend to every need: they even offer state-of-the- art cameras and binoculars, adding extra zoom to sightseeing.
