Geography & terrain

Jhalana lies on the edge of Jaipur in Rajasthan, 10 km from the city centre — the leopard reserve of the city's edge, its rocky hills and the forested ravines set in the Aravali's scrub country.

History & culture

The reserve's story runs with the region's history of the hunting grounds of the Jaipur state — the hills of the royal shikar, with the reserve's modern designation as the leopard safari area of 2016; the reserve's role in the state's wildlife circuit, with its story of the resident leopards and the city's coexistence with the wild cats, gives Jhalana its leopard-city character.
