About Rajasthan >> Rajasthan Wildlife >> Sariska Tiger Reserve
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 Rajasthan 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.
