At Jaisamand Sanctuary, the forest department has repaired the tracks. The safaris will also operate in two rounds there: from 6 AM to 9 AM and from 4 PM to 6 PM. Currently, five vehicles are operational, with more expected as the season progresses. The ticket costs ₹649 per person. Tickets can be booked both online and offline, providing convenience for visitors. Jeep safaris in all sanctuaries are closed from July 1 to September 30 every year due to the monsoon. With the end of the rains, the adventure has resumed.

Jaisamand Sanctuary offers two safari routes — one 14 km long and the other 22 km. These routes give visitors ample time to explore and enjoy the beauty of the forest. The safari takes you through thick forest tracks, where the excitement of spotting wildlife keeps you on edge. Jeep safaris were first started in Jaisamand in May of the previous year, adding to the appeal of the sanctuary.

Every turn of the track presents a chance to witness the magnificent creatures in their natural habitat. The gate to Jaisamand is located on the Udaipur-Banswara highway, making it easily accessible for tourists.
