Jaipur Becomes the First City in India to Offer Four Safari Experiences: A New Journey at Nahargarh

Jaipur, already renowned for its rich heritage and natural beauty, has now added another feather to its cap by becoming the first city in India to offer four distinct safari experiences. On Monday, a new chapter began at the 30-hectare Nahargarh Biological Park with the inauguration of the city’s first Tiger Safari by Chief Minister Bhajanlal Sharma. With this, Jaipur now boasts safaris dedicated to leopards, lions, elephants, and tigers, creating a unique wildlife adventure for tourists.

The newly opened Tiger Safari, the first of its kind in Rajasthan, spans a 7-kilometer track where visitors can witness the majestic sight of two tigresses, Bhakti and Chameli, as well as a male tiger named Gulab. In a special ceremony, Chief Minister Sharma also named two tiger cubs, christening the male as Bheem and the female as Skandhi.

The Nahargarh Wildlife Sanctuary, encompassing 5,240 hectares, includes the Nahargarh Biological Park spread over 720 hectares. The development of the tiger safari was a collaborative effort between the Forest Department and the Jaipur Development Authority (JDA), with a total investment of INR 4.53 crore.

A Major Boost to Conservation Efforts
During the inauguration, CM Sharma emphasized the positive impact the Tiger Safari would have on conservation efforts. “This initiative will enhance the conservation and growth of tigers in the state,” he remarked. Rajasthan, known for its rich biodiversity, is home to around 130 tigers, and the government has been actively working to preserve these majestic creatures. The state boasts three national parks, 26 wildlife sanctuaries, 36 conservation reserves, and four biological parks.

Additionally, JDA has developed two new parks in Jaipur—Nagar Van in Zerota and a Biodiversity Park near Nevta, benefiting around 500,000 residents. CM Sharma also directed authorities to prepare a comprehensive plan for proper lighting, water availability for wildlife, and the overall maintenance of the park.

The event was attended by several dignitaries, including UDH Minister Jhabar Singh Khara, Forest Minister Sanjay Sharma, Amer MLA Prashant Sharma, Jaipur Mayor Kusum Yadav, and Principal Chief Conservator of Forests, Arijit Banerjee.

With the launch of the Tiger Safari, Jaipur strengthens its position as a major wildlife tourism destination, offering visitors a one-of-a-kind experience to explore India’s majestic wildlife across multiple safaris.
