SARISKA TIGER PROJECTS

tigerSariska declared as Wild life sanctuary and tiger reserve in 1955 covers an area of about 800 sq. kms. of Aravali is the one of the exciting sanctuary. Just 3 hours drive from Delhi and 37 Km from Alwar covers mostly the hilly area with Kankwari and Kiraska plateaus. The wide valley of Sariska starts from Baran Tal gate and ends before Thana Gazi. In addition to the Tiger, one can see the Tiger of the Sanctuary i.e. Kankawari Leopard. The best way to see the animals other than watching points is to drive along the road from Sariska to Pandupole. In the evening as dusk creeps, the large herds of Samber move down from hills to drink. Beside the deer, this is perhaps the only sanctuary in the country where Albine Neelgai has been reported . More rare but occasionally seen are the Chowsingha, or the four horned antelope. Among the lesser cats found in the subcontinent the lithe, graceful and handsome caracal is perhaps rarely ever seen.

The park also contains ruined temples, as well as a fort and pavilions built by the Maharajas of Alwar.

The sanctuary can be viewed throughout the year., but the best time is between November to June.
