The picture-perfect tiger trail

If you're searching for an extraordinary getaway that promises thrilling wildlife encounters and a chance to immerse yourself in nature's splendour, look no further than Sariska National Park. Nestled in the ancient Aravalli hills of Rajasthan, this jewel of a park offers an unforgettable experience.


Sariska is a realm where nature reigns supreme. The park's diverse landscape includes dry deciduous forests, grasslands, rocky outcrops, and the Somsagar and Siliserh lakes, which attract a variety of wildlife.

It is home to a remarkable array of wildlife, including the majestic Bengal tiger. Keep your eyes peeled for these striped beauties, as well as leopards, hyenas, and a diverse array of deer and antelope species. For avid birdwatchers, Sariska is a bird watchers paradise, boasting over 200 species of feathered friends, from the vibrant Indian peafowl to the elusive crested serpent eagle.

The perfect time for exploring Sariska

While Sariska is a year-round delight, the cooler months from November to March are ideal. The weather is pleasant and the wildlife tend to congregate near water sources during this period thus heightening your chances of spotting the park's magnificent residents. Venture out on early morning or evening safaris, when the wildlife is most active, and prepare to be awestruck.

Tales from the wild

Sariska National Park is more than just a wildlife haven. Once the hunting grounds of the Maharaja of Alwar, the park has evolved into a sanctuary that fiercely protects its inhabitants. While the tiger population faced a devastating setback in the past, conservation efforts are underway to reintroduce the iconic big cats to their rightful home.

Sariska is also rich in cultural heritage, with ancient temples, forts, and ruins scattered throughout the park, offering a glimpse into the region's fascinating history. You will be able to explore ancient temples, forts, and ruins that whisper stories of bygone eras. Soak in the cultural richness as you explore these antiquities, adding to the excitement of your Sariska adventure.
