Leopards are the most adaptable of the big cats—found everywhere from rocky outcrops and dense forests to city-edge sanctuaries. But spotting them is never guaranteed. Our focused trips take you to places where sightings are not just possible, but often exceptional. In India, Jhalana and Bera are standout locations where leopards rule unchallenged. In Sri Lanka, national parks like Yala, Wilpattu, and Kumana offer some of the highest leopard densities in the world. Other Indian parks offer glimpses too—but with less predictability.
