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. |
