Sariska Wildlife Sanctuary
Tiger in Sariska Wildlife Sanctuary
The Sariska Wildlife Sanctuary is loacted in the Alwar district of Rajsthan, India. It is at a distance of around 200 km from Delhi and 107 km from Jaipur.
The Sariska Wildlife Sanctuary is open for visits throughout the year, however the best time to visit is during the months of January and February. This is the winter season when the climate is remarkably pleasant than the other point of time in the year. And if too much of heat is not really bothering, April- June is also a good time to spot the animals and birds near the water bodies.
The Sariska Wildlife Sanctuary, as similar to the other wildlife sanctuaries of Rajasthan, was previously a hunting reserve of a Maharaja, in this case, the Maharaja of Alwar. The area was declared a Wildlife Sanctuary in the year 1958 and a National Park in 1979. The 800 sq km of the park has around 480 sq km as its core area.
The terrain of Sariska includes hilly areas and narrow valleys of the Aravalli. Within the boundaries of the park, there is a fort, palace and few temples.
Its closeness to two of the most attractive tourists destinations in India, Agra and Delhi, has ensured a continuous flow of visitors to the Sariska National Park. This is in a way both positive and negative for the park since it gets exposed to a wide range of people, yet many of them visit it mainly due to its location.
