Hummocks with serene caves along with the Jawai river and dam create a perfect habitat for leopards to roam around and thrive. In many of these rocky structures, the entrance is a low-hanging cave — often with leopards and their young living in it. Leopards generally venture out only for a few hours during the day making the timing to watch them critical.
