Tour Overview
A character straight out of “The Jungle Book”, the melanistic leopard or the black panther, is an illustrious cat that instills a great sense of thrill and wonder, which is why we bring to you the Black Leopard Tour.
Having adopted the shadows, the melanistic black leopard is one that eludes all. Clandestine its approach, it dissolves impeccably within the darkness of the night, moving silently through the thickets of the forest floor.
While we’re certain that the elusive Black Leopard is the main attraction here, Nagarhole National Park’s beauty is beyond measure. Playing host to a plethora of Indian wildlife including Tigers, Asian Elephants, Wild Dogs, along with a medley of birds, plants, and reptiles, a black leopard tour through this biodiverse region under a dense canopy of the forest cover, is sure to leave you in a spell of enchantment.
