Sariska
: This park is
situated only 200 km from Delhi and 107 kms from Jaipur. Although
larger than Ranthambor, it is less commercialised and has less
tigers but a similar topography. It covers an area of 800 sq km in
total, with a core area of approximately 500 sq km. The Northern
Aravali Hills dominate the skyline with their mixture of sharp
cliffs and long narrow valleys. The area was declared a sanctuary in
1955 and became a National Park in 1979. The landscape of Sariska
comprises of hills and narrow valleys of the Aravali hill range. The
topography of Sariska supports scrub-thorn arid forests, dry
deciduous forests, rocks and grasses. The broad range of wildlife
here is a wonderful example of ecological adoption and tolerance,
for the climate here is variable as well as erratic.
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. The nearby Kankwadi Fort has a long and
turbulent history. In morning and evening, wildlife in Sariska
heads towards the many water holes, which litter the park, thus
providing the guests with their best chance of viewing game. At some
of these watering holes it is possible to book hides which are
situated in prime spots for wildlife viewing
