Rude Travel by Vir Sanghvi: Look for the spots!

Leopards can be hard to find but not if you go to the right places. Here’s what we saw during a recent trip

I have seen many tigers at Ranthambore but I never saw a single leopard. I questioned my wildlife guide who confirmed that there were actually more leopards than tigers in Ranthambore. So why, I asked the guide, did I never get to see any?

Though there are actually more leopards than tigers in India, you don’t spot as many of them during safaris

Service standards are extremely high and the Indian food is very good in Jawai

The sleek, art-deco look to the tents with every luxury imaginable can win over those who aren’t camping fans

There’s a rock with spectacular views of the water, hills and the sunset, near the property. The hotel will send a picnic with things like samosas etc

The camp created by Sujan Jaisal and his wife Anjali is stunning and doesn’t lean on old-jungle-lodge clichés

Jawai is the best small luxury hotel in India, with 86 staff members for 12 tents
