Jawai

Oxon-pulled carts trundle along the dusty roads, while women walk alongside, balancing terracotta pots of water on their heads. But while life here is a welcome invitation to relax, the main draw is the population of leopards who roam wild - spot these mighty cats on a jeep safari or explore on the back of a Marwari or Kathiawari horse. Semi-nomadic Rabari herdsmen tend their flock in the wide open plains, tiny temples perch on the top of rocky outcrops, and visits to local communities offer an insight into village life and society.
