Five days at the highest register pairing Udaipur's iconic lake palace with two nights at Jawai Leopard Camp by Sujan - one of India's most celebrated wilderness camps, set directly on the Aravalli granite. The journey opens with a Taj Lake Palace arrival and a private sunset boat on Lake Pichola. Jawai delivers morning and evening leopard drives with specialist naturalists, a Rabari community visit, and unhurried meals under the open sky. The circuit returns to Udaipur for a private City Palace tour before departure. A senior Farbound trip lead escorts the full circuit. Most meals included and all tickets pre-arranged. Operates October to March.
