The property is a rare blend of traditional decor and modern day amenities. The host is a generous warm hearted person who has a lot of affection about the wilderness and fauna of the area. He and his son welcome the guests with a lot of warmth and will take care of small details.

The safaris were simply amazing. Mr. Singh and his staff, despite the fact that they are inhabitants of the place, set out on safaris with the same zeal every single day. The staff particularly Narain, and Behru will leave no stone unturned to ensure you get a good sighting of the leopard.

Most importantly, I am a wildlife lover, and visited several national parks.... But the experience of going for a NIGHT safari especially in the monsoon season was unbelievable.

All in all a must visit place.

It was really a never before experience. We started off early from udaipur in the morning and confused to go to bera pali or mount abu. I insisted on going to Bear as i have seen documentaries on national geographic but u you never be sure without having seen it. We reached bear at 2pm and was asked to wait until dusk as leopard is sighted arount that time. Till that time we clicked nice pictures of beautifully built Castle Bera and also played our childhood game of . served nice tea and biscuits and started off bit early as we wanted to wrap the things early. Through the expert guidance of Our driver SH. Narayan we set off to Mandir and paid our obesiance to gods. Then we visited Jawai dam and sighted Crocodiles. Thereafter Narayan took us to a beathtaking Mountain climbing by Gypsy. I was really an awsom experience at the top of world. and then the final moments came and we saw leopard just in front of us. We clicked some nice pics and stalked the big cat for atleast an hour. The most elusive cat in world was right in front of us. Really an awsom experience. Willl visit again in the Month of October 18 with my friends.....
Thanks Narayan for making it a life time experience. U are gem of a person.
Thanks Castle Bera.......\

On our recent visit to Udaipur over the last weekend we were in two minds due to paucity of time whether to make a quick dash to Bera to see some of the famous leopards. Better sense prevailed and off we went after making a few calls to confirm whether we would be having an access to a safari vehicle. Bera is about 2.5 hours away with a good highway access.
There are 2 safaris one which starts early morning and the other starts around 5 pm. We reached around 4:30 and were warmly greeted by the staff and the owner Mr Baljeetsinghji. Post a quick cup of delicious tea we were off onto one of my favourite vehicles the 'Gypsy'. Our doubts regarding the weather and the monsoon rains interrupting our field trip were soon laid to rest as the weather was perfect for an outdoor safari. The ride was super smooth and the driver knowledgeable and an expert spotter. First pitstop was the beautiful Jawai dam, a photographers delight. It offered splendid all round view and we spotted a couple of large crocodiles lazying around on the rocks. We also got a close up on some of the beautiful migratory birds who were kind enough to pose for the shutter bugs amongst us. The kids were loving it. Post this began the search of the leopards. As per the last census Bera and the region surrounding it has about 90+ leopards which would ideally be about 1 leopard per 1.5 km. the sightings are easy and one is assured of spotting. However leopards being shy animals and the fact that i on my various trips to different national parks (Ranthambore, Corbett etc)have never spotted a tiger etc in the wild I had my fingers crossed. As they say perseverance is key, after a series of false alarms one which involved all of us crouched onto a hill in anticipation of spotting one to come out of his cave for over an hour we spotted one beautiful specimen well into the darkness post 8 pm. Our guide did not let go and ensured through his spotlight we caught the first hint of his gleaming eyes. There he/ she was across a hill a distance of nearly half a km. We too had gone over a (60deg angle) onto a huge rock hill literally a small mountain to ensure we did not miss out. He gave us an excellent view for 15 mins via our long range binaculars we came back satisfied souls. The drive in the gypsy was outstanding and the expert handling of the off roader left us equally impressed. He created roads and paths where there were none. Bera is one place I will visit over and over again irrespective of the season & for the warm hospitality on offer it felt like home away from home. Do visit for real adventure, leopard spotting, off roading experience and the warm ambience of Castle Bera.
