Jawai is home to the Rabari tribe, a semi-nomadic pastoral community that has lived alongside

leopards for centuries, believing

them to be sacred and

a part of their

spiritual world.

The unique granite hills of Jawai are over a billion years old, making them some of the oldest rock formations

in the world, shaped by time

into caves and crevices

that serve as natural

leopard dens.

Despite being a prime leopard habitat, Jawai has no recorded human-leopard conflict, a

rare example of

peaceful coexistence

between wildlife and

humans in India.
