After Ranthambore National Park and Jhalana Leopard Safari, Rajasthan is all set for the first lion safari project in Jaipur. The jungle area is set up adjacent to the Nahargarh Biological Park where Asiatic Lions can be spotted. The state government has prepared around 4 km of safari track in the jungle area spread across 30 hectares of land by spending Rs 4 crore on the project which is expected to be inaugurated by chief minister Vasundhara Raje in the second week of August.
The lion safari in Jaipur is being started on the lines of South Africa. While inaugurating the Nahargarh Biological Park, CM Raje had wished to set up a lion safari inside the jungle and her wish turned into a reality with the efforts of JDA. The work to set up a Lion Safari in the Nahargarh jungle commenced in June 2016 and is now in the final phase. DFO of Nahargarh Forest area Sudarshan Sharma said that twenty feet high fencing has been done on the boundary of the jungle so that the Lions living in the jungle can stay safe. Also, the project will provide a boost to Rajasthan tourism. JDA Commissioner is monitoring the work regularly to make the dream project of the CM successful. Sharma added that in the Lion Safari project to begin in the jungle of Nahargarh, there were plans to shift Lioness Tejika and Lion Siddhartha, but after the sudden death of Tejika, the project got a major setback. The void created by the absence of the Lioness will be filled by her cubs. For the water arrangements, three big ponds have been set up inside the Nahargarh Forest area.
The Commissioner of JDA Vaibhav Galriya said that a plan has been prepared to run gypsy and canters, on the lines of Ranthambore National Park, for the safari inside the forest. With the start of this project, new dimensions of tourism will be established in Jaipur as well as Nature Photographers will also get a new destination.
