Two nights in Bera is the most popular choice for good reason. It fits a long weekend and leaves room for three drives.
Day 1: settle in and an evening drive
Arrive after an early start, have lunch, rest for a little and head out for the first evening drive. You will meet your tracker, learn the signs to look for and enjoy sunset over the hills.
Day 2: the full day
- Early morning drive from about 6:00 AM.
- Breakfast, then a slow late morning, perhaps a walk in the village.
- Lunch of dal baati churma or a village thali.
- Rest in the heat of the afternoon.
- Evening drive, then dinner and stargazing. See stargazing in Jawai.
Day 3: a last dawn and the road home
Take a final dawn drive, because many sightings come on the last try. Breakfast, a short stop for chai in Bera, then check out and head home after lunch.

Frequently asked questions
Is 2 nights enough to see a leopard?
It gives a fair chance with three drives, but nothing in the wild is guaranteed. A third night improves the odds and lets you slow down.
What is the best day to arrive?
Weekdays are quieter and can be cheaper. Friday and Saturday nights fill first in winter.
Can children do this itinerary?
Yes. Keep drives short, take breaks and brief the kids before each drive. See family travel tips.
