Complete Jawai Tour Package

The first evening in Jawai usually goes the same way. You arrive in the heat of the afternoon, eat, sit on the lawn for a while, and assume the hills in front of you are empty. Then someone hands you binoculars, points at a ledge of granite you had already looked at twice, and a leopard is lying on it as if it had been there all along.

Upvan Jawai's Complete Jawai Tour Package is built around that slow reveal. It is a 2 night, 3 day stay at Upvan Jawai near Jawai Bandh in Pali district, Rajasthan, combining three wildlife safaris across three different zones (Sena Jeewda, Doodni Bera and Maad jungle), a morning at the Pandav temple and the dam for birds and crocodiles, two evenings of folk music by Jaisalmeri artists, and every meal from arrival lunch to departure breakfast.

The package starts at ₹35,500 in an Upvan Stone Cottage and ₹37,500 in a Luxury Tented Cottage.

What Does the Complete Jawai Tour Package Include?

The Complete Jawai Tour Package includes two nights' stay, all meals from lunch on arrival to breakfast on departure, three jungle safaris (Sena Jeewda, Doodni Bera and Maad jungle), a morning visit to the Pandav temple with birding, crocodile spotting and high tea at the dam, high tea on the evening safari, and two evenings of Jaisalmeri folk performance with live starters.

Three days is the length Jawai actually asks for. One safari shows you the landscape. Three safaris in three different zones show you how it divides up: the open leopard country of Doodni Bera, the mixed scrub and jungle of Sena Jeewda, and the denser cover of Maad jungle, where sloth bears, hyenas and civet cats take over from the cats. Add a morning at the water and two nights under a sky with nothing in it but stars, and you leave knowing the place rather than having visited it.

Complete Jawai Tour Itinerary: Day by Day

Day 1: Arrival, Sena Jeewda Safari and a Jaisalmeri Evening

  1. 1:00 PM
    Arrival at Upvan Jawai and a welcome drink.
  2. Lunch
    North Indian lunch with sweets and salad.
  3. Evening
    Safari in the Sena Jeewda zone, a leopard and jungle focused drive, with high tea along the way.
  4. After dark
    Cultural programme by Jaisalmeri artists, with live starters.
  5. Dinner
    Authentic Rajasthani and North Indian dinner.

The first afternoon is deliberately unhurried. You have time to eat, settle into your cottage and let the heat pass before the first drive. Sena Jeewda is a good introduction: leopards are the focus, but the route covers wider jungle country, so the first drive shows you the whole range of what Jawai holds.

Day 2: Pandav Temple, Jawai Bandh and Doodni Bera Leopard Safari

  1. Early morning
    Visit to the Pandav temple, with birding and crocodile spotting at Jawai Bandh and high tea at the dam.
  2. Breakfast
    North Indian and English themed breakfast.
  3. Midday
    North Indian lunch with sweets and salad, then the afternoon free to rest.
  4. Evening
    Leopard safari in the Doodni Bera zone, a drive focused entirely on leopards.
  5. After dark
    Cultural programme by Jaisalmeri artists, with live starters.
  6. Dinner
    Authentic Rajasthani and North Indian dinner.

The morning belongs to the water. Migratory birds work the shallows of Jawai Bandh, mugger crocodiles haul out onto the rock shelves to warm up, and high tea is laid out by the dam while the light is still soft. The evening belongs to the leopards. Doodni Bera is the drive for guests who came to Jawai for one animal, and it runs through the granite in the hour when cats come onto open stone.

Day 3: Maad Jungle Safari and Departure

  1. Early morning
    Safari in Maad jungle, home to sloth bears, striped hyenas and civet cats.
  2. Breakfast
    Breakfast at the resort.
  3. Late morning
    Check-out.

The last drive is the one most guests do not expect. Maad jungle is denser and quieter than the granite zones, and it is where Jawai's other animals live: sloth bears working through the scrub, hyenas, and the small, secretive civet cats. It is a fitting close to three days, a reminder that the leopard is the headline but not the whole story.

Why Book Your Jawai Tour Package With Upvan Jawai

Upvan Jawai sits minutes from Jawai Bandh on the Sumerpur–Bijapur Road, so every safari begins in the hills rather than after a long transfer. Drives are led by the property's own naturalists, who have read these hills for years and know individual leopards by territory rather than guesswork.

A package that books three safari zones is not the same as three random drives. Each zone does a different job, and the order is deliberate: a broad jungle introduction on the first evening, a dedicated leopard drive on the second, and the bears and hyenas of Maad jungle on the last morning. Between them sit the dam, the temple, the long lunches and two evenings of Jaisalmeri musicians playing on the lawn.

Several of the field team come from the villages around Jawai Bandh. Herding families here have shared ground with wild leopards for generations, with no fences and no tradition of retaliation. That coexistence is the reason there are leopards here to look for at all.

Upvan Jawai holds a 4.9★ rating on Google across more than 250 reviews, and the property has been featured in Travel + Leisure, Condé Nast, Forbes, The Hindu and Outlook Traveller.

Best Time for a Jawai Tour Package

October to March is the best time for a Jawai tour package. Days are mild, nights are cold and clear, the evening cultural programmes are at their best outdoors, and migratory birds are settled on Jawai Bandh, which makes the Day 2 morning at the dam as rewarding as any safari.

April to June is hotter, but the package is built for it: the arrival is timed for after lunch, the middle of each day is spent resting at the property, and every safari runs in the cooler hours at either end of the day.

What to Pack for a 3 Day Jawai Trip

  • Light layers for early mornings in an open jeep, cold from November through February.
  • Something warm for the evening cultural programmes in winter.
  • Binoculars. Most Jawai sightings begin as a shape on distant rock.
  • A camera with reach. 200–500mm is the useful range here.
  • Closed shoes and neutral colours: olive, khaki, beige.
  • Sun protection, a hat and a refillable water bottle.
  • No perfume or strong scents on safari.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does the Complete Jawai Tour Package cost?

The 2 night, 3 day Complete Jawai Tour Package costs ₹35,500 in an Upvan Stone Cottage and ₹37,500 in a Luxury Tented Cottage. Extra guests above 12 years are ₹8,000, children aged 6 to 12 are ₹6,000, and children below 5 stay free.

What is included in the Jawai 2 night 3 day package?

The package includes two nights' accommodation, all meals from arrival lunch to departure breakfast, a welcome drink, three safaris in Sena Jeewda, Doodni Bera and Maad jungle, a Pandav temple and Jawai Bandh visit with birding, crocodile spotting and high tea, and two evenings of Jaisalmeri cultural performance with live starters.

How many safaris are included in the package?

Three jungle safaris, each in a different zone: an evening drive in Sena Jeewda on Day 1, an evening leopard safari in Doodni Bera on Day 2, and a morning safari in Maad jungle on Day 3. There is also a morning outing to the Pandav temple and Jawai Bandh for birds and crocodiles.

What wildlife can I see on a Jawai tour package?

Leopards are the main draw, with two of the three safaris focused on them. Maad jungle adds sloth bears, striped hyenas and civet cats, while Jawai Bandh brings mugger crocodiles and resident and migratory birds. All sightings depend on wild animals in open country and are never guaranteed.

Are leopard sightings guaranteed in Jawai?

No. Upvan Jawai does not guarantee leopard sightings and does not publish a sighting-rate figure, because these are wild, unfenced and unbaited animals. What a three day package does is give you two dedicated leopard drives in different zones, which improves your chances considerably. Sightings are frequent through the season, but quiet drives happen.

Is the Jawai tour package suitable for families with children?

Yes. The pace suits families well, with long rests in the middle of the day, the dam and crocodiles on Day 2, and two evenings of folk music children usually love. Children below 5 stay free, and children aged 6 to 12 are ₹6,000.

What are the check-in and check-out times?

Arrival is at 1:00 PM on Day 1, timed so the package begins with a welcome drink and lunch. Check-out is on Day 3 after the morning Maad jungle safari and breakfast.

What is the best time to visit Jawai for this package?

October to March is the best time, with mild days, cold clear nights and migratory birds on Jawai Bandh. The package also runs from April to June, when the schedule keeps every safari in the cooler hours and the hottest part of the day at the property.
