Jaipur has distinguished itself as the world's first city to offer three dedicated leopard safaris, following the inauguration of the Beed Papad Leopard Safari (Vidyadhar Nagar) on World Environment Day, June 5, 2025. The three leopard safaris — Jhalana, Amagarh, and Beed Papad — collectively represent a unique model of urban wildlife conservation within one of India's most historic cities. The Jhalana Leopard Reserve, spread across approximately 23 square kilometres within city limits, was India's first urban leopard reserve, recognised by the Rajasthan Forest Department in 2017 and opened for tourism in December 2016. It hosts 30–35 leopards, with 8–10 regularly visible in the safari zone. In 2025, Jhalana alone recorded over 30,000 visitors, while Amagarh recorded more than 8,000. December–January is peak season as cooler temperatures increase leopard activity and sightings. Jaipur's leopard safari ecosystem — complemented by a biological park housing lions, elephants, and tigers — has transformed the city into what tourism analysts term 'India's wildlife capital.' The development is significant for Rajasthan's economy: wildlife tourism generates ancillary income for local guides, transport operators, hotels, and artisans, and has helped Jaipur diversify beyond its traditional heritage tourism identity. The success of Jaipur's urban wildlife model is being studied as a template for other Indian cities with urban forest patches, such as Delhi's Asola Bhatti Wildlife Sanctuary and Mumbai's Sanjay Gandhi National Park. Rajasthan's wildlife tourism positioning aligns with CM Bhajan Lal Sharma's Ease of Doing Business-linked tourism push.
