    Bala Quila (Alwar Fort), City Palace and Museum

Start your trip with a walk around Alwar. Look around and you'll see the special buildings and designs that Rajasthan is known for. First, head to Bala Quila, also called Alwar Fort. It's a big, old fort on some hills called the Aravalli Range. This fort has tall walls and old parts that remind people of brave fighters and smart plans from long ago. As you walk inside, you can see a beautiful view of the whole city of Alwar.

After looking at the fort, you might get hungry. So, go to a nearby food place and try some local Rajasthan food. Make sure to try Alwar's popular milk sweets too. Once you're full, it's time to visit the City Palace and Museum. This place has many old items from the time when kings and queens lived in Rajasthan.

In the late afternoon, head to Siliserh Lake. It's a quiet lake near the Aravalli hills. The water is calm and the view is lovely. If you want, you can take a boat ride on the lake. This is a great way to relax and enjoy the beauty around you.

    Sariska Tiger Reserve, Bhangarh Fort

The second day of your trip is filled with nature, stories, and shopping. Let’s start our day with an exciting visit to the Sariska Tiger Reserve. It's a special place close to Alwar, like a big park for wild animals. While it’s famous for the big Bengal tiger, it's not just about them. The reserve is also home to other animals, and you'll find a bunch of different plants too. As you drive or walk around, keep your eyes open! You might spot a deer, some monkeys, or even a peacock showing off its colourful feathers. The morning here will feel like a true jungle adventure.

Once you’ve taken in all the wild beauty, return to Alwar. You must be hungry after your adventure, so grab a meal in town. Are you feeling energised? Great! Because next, we're off to Bhangarh Fort. This isn’t just any old fort. It has stories that'll give you goosebumps. People say it's one of the most haunted places in India. While the fort is super old and looks cool, it’s the tales about spooky happenings, mysterious spells, and old curses that make it a must-visit. But don’t worry too much about the ghosts; many people visit the fort, and they're just drawn by its mystery and beauty.

As the sun starts to go down, wander into Alwar's market. The shops are full of local things you can buy. From pretty handmade items and shiny jewellery to delicious local sweets, there’s something for everyone. Picking up a few things here is a perfect way to remember this wonderful trip.

Now, as night falls, rest up. After a day filled with tigers, tales, and treats, you'll have memories that'll last a lifetime!
