Sariska Tiger Reserve
Rajasthan is a pristine platform for viewing wildlife in India
because of its topographical diversities. And the Sariska Tiger
Reserve showcases the rich flora and fauna that Rajastha n
is famous for. With the Aravali Hills in the backdrop, Sariska
Tiger Reserve is other tigerland in Rajasthan, apart from
Ranthambore National Park. Sariska was brought under Project
Tiger in 1979 and became a national park in 1982. A favoured
wildlife destination in India, Sariska draws a large number of
tourists due to its easy accessibility from the nearby major
towns and cities like Delhi and Jaipur.
Apart from its wildlife splendor, Sariska also offers sites that
have a strong historical background. The monuments in Sariska
are symbolic of their glorious past. Sariska also offers the
tourist a unique opportunity to observe the behavioural patterns
of the animals residing in the park.
Sariska is a storehouse of wild flora and fauna, housing some of
the famous species of deciduous plants and wild animals. It also
cradles some of the rare species of birds, both native and
migratory. Moreover, the Kankawati Fort is one of the wonders of
Sariska that stands alone and neglected. As if aware of the fact
that the fort is abandoned, the jungle beasts, especially the
leopards, come here for some outdoor hunting spree.
Another option for tourists traveling to Sariska are the
exciting weekend getaways it offers. The Siliserh Lake and the
Siliserh Palace make an ideal picnic point, the Hides provide
real life opportunity to play hide and seek in the wild. Alwar
is considered as the gateway to Rajasthan while Deeg is known
for wonderful palaces and gardens. Moreover, all these excursion
itineraries provide you with good eating and accommodation
options to spend a day or two. Best time to travel to Sariska
National Park is November to June.
