Jawai - a tale of humans, leopards and landscapes

Have a look at my latest documentary "The Leopard Prince" here: • The Leopard Prince - f...
Rarely have I been moved that deeply by a travel experience as it was the case when I visited the area of Jawai in Rajasthan, India. The raw beauty of the landscape, the inhabitants, the way they live their lifes in harmony with the wildlife of this area, and how their deep rooted culture and spiritual belief helped to conserve the biodiversity.
This is one of the rare places on earth where wild leopards and humans live together in peace.
I am very grateful to my friend Parag, who showed me this exceptional area. We had less than 48 hours to experience the place, yet I was completely fascinated. This is a magical land - an emotion which I am trying to convey by this film.
I hope that it stays this way - hence a somewhat sad undertone. You have to invest a little bit of time into this film, but I hope it is worth it for you!

Wow mother with her cubs.
It’s beautiful how wild animals coexist with humans in India.

[@aswinv2486]

Sir, your emotion for environment and biodiversity conservation is are clearly conveyed in the video. I wasnt aware of the existence of such a place. Thank you for the vid. I think we Indians should start our own Nat Geo channel to cater to the needs of so large number of ecosystems left unexplored.

Thank you for the nice comment, and yes, you have so many unexplored places - it's amazing!

I used a Sennheiser MKE440 for this. However, a lot of the sounds are foley (designed in post).

Can we do the leopard safari by our own car- eartiga?

[@maxmohanmedia98]

Your background music is too loud which makes it more difficult to understand what you are saying in that affected accent! Sorry bud...I loved the villagers and landscapes.

[@stoneruler]

Came here for leopards, stayed for the landscape.

the film is enjoyable but the music unfortunately is ghastly
