Sariska Tiger Reserve is well nestled in the Aravali Hills
covering 800 sq km area divided into the grasslands, dry deciduous
forests, sheer cliffs and rocky landscape. Nearly 90% of the
area in the sanctuary is covered with dhok trees accommodating
various wildlife species. It is located in the contemporary
Alwar district and is the legacy of the Maharajas of Alwar.
Pavilions and Temples within Sariska are ruins that hint at
past riches and glory.
A variety of other wild animals like the leopard, sambhar,
chital, nilgai, four-horned antelope, wild boar, rhesus macaque,
langur, hyena and jungle cats are found in the Sariska Tiger
Reserve apart from the tiger. The Sariska National Park is
home to India's largest population of peafowl, and harbors
quail, sand grouse, golden- backed woodpeckers and crested
serpent eagles, among other species. Also the Siliserh Lake
on the edge of the park has a large number of crocodiles.
Sariska Park is home to numerous carnivores including Leopard,
Wild Dog, Jungle Cat, Hyena, Jackal, and Tiger. These feed
on an abundance of prey species such as Sambar, Chitel, Nilgai,
Chausingha, Wild Boar and Langur. The park is open almost
whole year-round, but for wildlife viewing and the comfort
of the visitors it is best to visit from October to April.
Safaris are provided by jeep.
