Udaipur, a dream etched in stone and reflected in shimmering waters
Our 50th year of existence called for a celebration. P had decided that it had to be the beautiful city of Udaipur - a historic city which welcomed tourists. We did not have any other recommendations and so relented The thought of a trip to a city known for palaces and temples was exciting yet we needed some adventure to draw us there. It was then decided to begin the journey with a safari visit to Jawai - a leopard hotspot. Sunset while on the evening safari Posing (to ward off boredom while waiting for the leopard to make an appearance) While we flew to Udaipur (in the interest of time) and drove for nearly 2.5 hours to Jawai Bera, we later learnt that we could have taken an overnight train to Jawai or any of the other 2 stations - each of which was only 10-20kms from Jawai Bera - the leopard sanctuary. While I call it a sanctuary, it is NOT because it is not designated as such by the Wildlife department. The guide - Rituraj (interestingly a Zoology + Bschool grad from Maharashtra
