Leopard in India

Looking for the leopard in India? Start with Ranthambore National Park, where access and habitat make a sighting more likely than a chance roadside glimpse.

Ranthambore National Park in Rajasthan is the place to begin. Dry deciduous forest and ruined fortresses where tigers patrol ancient trails, one of India's most reliable tiger-spotting reserves. Give yourself quiet time at dawn or dusk and keep your distance.

India context: Tigers in the jungle, leopards in the hills, and one of the richest wildlife portfolios on Earth.

In India, look especially around savanna, forest, and woodland. Those settings usually put you closest to where this species is active.
