Rocky hills
Leopards use the rocky Vindhyan slopes, nullahs and escarpments. Alarm calls of chital and langur are the usual clues. Keep voices low.

Do not ask the driver to leave the authorised road for a closer look. A cat pushed off a day-bed learns to avoid gypsies — and the next visitor sees nothing.
