Days 3 & 4: Sujan Jawai
At the heart of an untrammeled wilderness, where leopards roam wild and free, is SUJÁN’s JAWAI. The vibrant Rabari herdsmen who have shared this land with wildlife for centuries endorse the organic and continuing link between local culture and wildlife. This is a relationship that SUJÁN is deeply committed to nurturing in the face of rapid change, as a means of fulfilling our commitment to conservation, to cultures and wildlife.

Days 7 to 10: Ranthambore National Park
We will use an open-top jeep to explore the park for Tigers, enjoying the area’s prolific wildlife as we go. The rangers will be on the lookout for tell-tale signs such as pugmarks or scat in the road, and will be ever alert for the alarm calls of Sambar, Spotted Deer andHanuman Langur. With luck, these will lead us to a Tiger padding along a dusty track or sprawled out in the dappled sunlight. In addition to Tigers and their favourite prey species, Indian Gazelle, Jungle Cat, Striped Hyena and if we are extremely fortunate, Leopard and Sloth Bear.

Day 11: AM game drive, road transfer to Jaipur and depart
