Shimla:The Tirthan valley of Great Himalayan National Park of Kullu district witnessed a rare co-existence of Man and Wildlife, as a Leopard decided to become friends with a few men, who were part of a politician's cavalcade.
A candidate of a political party, along with his supporters, was on campaign trail, when a young Leopard suddenly came from nowhere before them.

He looks a domesticated one. Maybe escaped from some estate. Some says it is from tirthan valley, HP. Not confirmed. But need more investigation. @rameshpandeyifspic.twitter.com/PF3OwQJ3Ll
On seeing the big cat, some of the men came out of their cars and started making its video. The Leopard, who seem to be in a good mood, also started clinging playfully to the two men and even tried to climb over them.
This was a rare video, as people of this hill state usually do not go near wild animals.Tirthan valley is the entry point of the Great Himalayan National Park, which is surrounded by a large number of Leopards and other wild animals. The place is also known for Jajurana, the state bird of Himachal Pradesh.
