Evergreen wildlife Safari ranakpur — Attraction in Rajasthan

Such a wonderful ❤️, Once in a lifetime experience. Yes we saw Leopard 🐆 not so close ( had no luck to see it's crossing road ) even though we waited till 6:45 pm . Mukesh ji our guide cum driver is very humble and responsible person , Generally safari ends at 6 pm but he tried very hard from starting of safari to make sure we see leopard 🐆. Safari starts at adventure point ( we were scared to see the steepnes of mountain ⛰️ but he says just close your eyes 👀) honestly we really enjoyed, this is the place where thrills comes into play. Remember there are two types of safari in rankpur - Jungle safari- as usual where you can see other animals, ponds , birds , trees and if you are lucky then leopard Leopard safari - 99% chances of seeing leopard ( because we visit theirs homes 🏡 in mountain) and thrills of mountain ⛰️ we go straight to the mountain without roads .

Make sure you take enough food , water and shawls Jackets for winter ( we had evening safari , at 3 pm there was too hot but after safari while we coming back too much cold 🥶 and also gypsy is open so please take enough shawls and Jackets along with you )

NOTE - on adventure point there is small water hole where waters continously flows and there is myth that it heals itching and skin related disease ( You must carry some empty water bottles if you need it )

Overall Thanks to Viramdev ji for their politeness and humbleness and also for Such a nice arrangements of gypsy and hiring very good drivers. Also if you feel happy after safari don't forget to tip drivers (...
