Great deal with amazing services! Spent 3 blissful hours exploring the untouched parts of the Jhalana Leopard Reserve in Jaipur. If you’re as much of an animal lover as I am, this deal is an absolutely unmissable one. We got to see a fair share of leopards in here too, which we were initially quite hesitant about. The service was professional, and the guide Rai ji made sure we were never uncomfortable. I’d recommend it to anyone. Thanks so much, Thrillophilia.

However for a brief time, spotted a leopard out in the open for the first time in my life. It was both terrifying and exciting at once. The guide, Ramesh, was learned and helpful. Great activity for wildlife lovers in Jaipur!
