Roaring into Tourism: Rajasthan's Leopard Safari

The Leopard Safari Project in Ajmer, Rajasthan, aims to enhance tourism and employment, promote eco-tourism, and preserve the region's heritage. With a budget of Rs 19 crore, it will redevelop 7.5 km of trails, construct an 11.5 km track, and include visitor amenities.

In a significant move to boost tourism, Rajasthan Assembly Speaker Vasudev Devnani laid the foundation stone for the Leopard Safari Project at Ajmer's Ganga Bhairav Valley on Thursday.

The project, estimated to cost Rs 19 crore, is expected to generate employment for locals and promote eco-tourism, while preserving the natural and historical legacy of the region. It will involve upgrading a 7.5-kilometre trail and creating a new 11.5-kilometre track, complete with rest points and selfie spots to enhance visitor experience.

Devnani highlighted that the initiative would position Ajmer alongside notable destinations like Ranthambore and Sariska, attracting tourists to explore the area's rich history, including sites from the era of King Prithviraj Chauhan.
