At Jawai Bandh. Open wilderness and long stretches of silence broken only by wind, water, and wildlife.
This is not a podcast.
This is an experience in nature.
Filmed at Bagheera’s Camp, Jawai, this episode unfolds in the heart of the wild with Rajkumari Padmaja Rathore, where conversations happen under open skies instead of studio lights. Surrounded by leopards, rocky hills, and raw landscapes, we explore what it truly means to live alongside nature.
Why is saving the Aravalli range so critical today?
How can humans and wildlife coexist without conflict?
Can conservation and responsible tourism work together?
Through personal stories and lived experience, Rajkumari Padmaja Rathore shares insights into wildlife conservation, the fragile ecosystem of Jawai, and the responsibility that comes with protecting India’s natural heritage.
This episode goes beyond information. It invites reflection.
It asks us to slow down, listen, and understand the balance that nature demands.
This film is for those who don’t just want to see the jungle, but feel it.
For those who believe conservation is not a trend, but a long-term commitment.
And for those who understand that protecting the wild is ultimately about protecting ourselves.
No studio.
No scripts.
Just the wilderness, real conversations, and one shared purpose — Saving the Aravallis.
