Sariska Accommodation Sariska Wildlife Sanctuary

Sariska Palace, Sariska
This former palace & royal hunting lodge on the edge of Sariska National Park was built by the Maharaja of Alwar, for the visit of Queen Victoria`s son, the Duke of Connaught. Its architecture is a blend of French, regal, with eastern detailing & is now a Heritage Hotel. The interior is not opulent but it does have some Louis XIV & art deco furniture, along with wicker chairs & Victoriana.



The rooms & suites are gigantic (with typical high ceilings) & clean, with phones but no TVs; Some are air-conditioned. The lovely flower bedecked grounds are encircled by a large wall to keep the animals out, though they often find their way in. At times you may be lucky to see wildlife while relaxing on the hotel terrace itself.

About Sariska Wildlife Sanctuary

Sariska National Park lies in the Aravalli hills and is the former hunting preserve of the Maharaja of Alwar. Sariska itself is a wide valley with two large plateaus and is dotted with places of historical and religious interest, including the ruins of the Kankwari Fort, the 10th century Neelkanth temples, the Budha Hanumab Temple near Pandupol, the Bharthari Temple near the park office, and the hot and cold springs of Taalvriksh. The large Siliserh Lake is at the north-eastern corner. The forests are dry deciduous, with trees of Dhak, Acacia, Ber and Salar. The Tigers of Sariska are largely nocturnal and are not as easily seen as those of Ranthambhor. The park also has good populations of Nilgai, Sambar and Chital. In the evenings, Indian Porcupine, Striped Hyaena, Indian Palm Civet and even Leopard are sometimes seen. The forests are lush during and immediately following the monsoon, but during the dry months of February May there is a shortage of water and in consequence mammals are attracted to water holes. At this time of year visibility is good because of the sparse foliage. Sariska is excellent for birdwatching and has an unusually large population of Indian Peafowl. Season : Open year round, the best period being November-April, especially March-April. Access : The nearest airport is at Jaipur (115 km 3 hours ) and the nearest railway station is at Alwar (36 km). The drive from Delhi takes 5-6 hours.
