A wonderful and true experience of Safari at the Sariska National Park. Diverse wildlife can be experienced up-close here.

Sariska Tiger Reserve forms a part of the Alwar District of Rajasthan and is nestled amidst the picturesque Aravali hills. The Reserve is immensely rich in flora and fauna, and is famous for Royal Bengal Tiger. Sariska was declared wildlife sanctuary in year 1955 and became the Tiger reserve later in the year 1978, making it a part of India's Project Tiger. The Reserve has popular numerous valuable sites of geological and historical interest located inside its area. The Sanctuary houses ruined temples, forts, pavilions and a palace. Kankarwadi fort is located in the center of the Reserve and it is said that Mughal emperor Aurangzeb had imprisoned his brother Dara Shikoh at this fort in struggle for succession to the throne. Although entry to this fort is not allowed but one can enjoy the view of this magnificent fort by relating to the glorious history it has. The Reserve also houses a famous temple of lord Hanuman at Pandupole related to Pandavas which you can only visit on Tuesdays and Saturdays with an entry fee of 250. The legend associates this temple to the time of great Pandavas . It is said that during exile the Pandavas roamed around in these forests. Here, is also the delightful Pandupol where a cascading spring emerges from hard and compact rocks.

Sariska Tiger reserve...One of the popular tiger reserve of Rajasthan. Very good dense forest....very well protected by Forest department. A good landscape for Tiger and other animals sambhar, cheetal, wild boar etc. A temple "pandu pol" is also situated in side the forest...history of pandavas is related to it. Over all a good experience, a good piece of management by Forest Dept., Govt. Of rajasthan.

Wonderful area , wildlife , flora and fauna. Must visit ( espically after a few rainfall as it would be green and so stunning beauty )(see my pics.)

For the wildlife enthusiast Sariska is one of the closest Tiger Reserve near Delhi. It just takes roughly 4 hour drive (around 215 km) to reach Sariska. If you too are feeling trapped in your daily hustle and bustle then this can be a great day break from Delhi. Safari tours take place daily, twice a day, and a trip would ideally last for more than 3 hours. You can book the safari tickets online. Self driven vehicles are allowed on Sat. for temple visit on the hilltop in forest

Wildlife is really scarce with only a few joints where you get to see spotted deer, sambar deer, nilgai, etc. There's a lake infested with crocodiles whom you will see almost everytime. Tigers are really tough to sight since the numbers and the density is low, and also the terrain is a little unsupportive. You may be lucky to even spot a leopard although their numbers are much higher. The vegetation is not much dense because of scarcity of water in Rajasthan. Most water holes are filled by water tanks by the forest officials. We went in the month of January and it was a pleasant safari. The best part is that since Ranthambore is more popular, Sariska is a little secluded and hence peaceful.

Dense forest area with high mountains inside sariska tiger reserve. This place lies in the centre of tiger reserve and rich in fauna and flora. Pandupol hanuman mandir is near kali ghati. During rainy season kali ghati witnesses heavy flow of water from above the mountains.
