Tiger National Reserve-Sariska


Sariska Tiger Reserve is well nestled in the Aravali Hills covering 800 sq km area divided into the grasslands, dry deciduous forests, sheer cliffs and rocky landscape. Whether you want to have camel safaris, go out for shopping in the surrounding places, visit medieval palaces or wildlife watching; Sariska Wildlife Sanctuary is the best place for you.

Nearly 90% of the area in the sanctuary is covered with dhok trees accommodating various wildlife species. A variety of other wild animals like the leopard, sambhar, chital, nilgai, four-horned antelope, wild boar, rhesus macaque, langur, hyena and jungle cats are found in the Sariska Tiger Reserve apart from the tiger. The Sariska National Park is home to India''s largest population of peafowl, and harbours quail, sand grouse, golden- backed woodpeckers and crested serpent eagles, among other species. Also the Siliserh Lake on the edge of the park has a large number of crocodiles.

The Sariska Wildlife Sanctuary houses the ruins of medieval temples of Garh-Rajor that date back to the 10th and 11th centuries. Also a 17th century castle on a hilltop at Kankwari provides a panoramic view of flying vultures and eagles. The Sariska was declared a sanctuary in 1955 and attained the status of a National Park in 1979.

Sariska park is home to numerous carnivores including Leopard, Wild Dog, Jungle Cat, Hyena, Jackal, and Tiger. These feed on an abundance of prey species such as Sambar, Chitel, Nilgai, Chausingha, Wild Boar and Langur.

  9. Nearly as impressive and filled with power as the monsoun rain, hope that you are not getting too wet, eventhough I guess the land might need the rain.
    One thing I might need is to visit India one day...until then enjoy your site very much.

  11. It's just so foreign to see the monkeys on the road, and to think of all that exotic wildlife. What a remarkable reserve. India is so full of beauty. My husband had been to India many times, I am still looking forward to going someday. I have many treasures that he brought back though. The textiles are wonderful.

  35. It looks and sounds like you can spend a month or two inside the park without running out of things to see! But not without a guide with a means of protection, I think.

    Fantastic and beautiful!

  63. I enjoyed all of your photos but was especially intrigued by the one of the river in the forest. Was it taken from a boat (part of your safari) or from a bridge? Thank you for a fascinating tour.

    ReplyDelete
  64. Great photos.

    How I'd wish I'd be able to paint in a forest like that. (I grew up in a large European forest, and any woodlands appeal to me, but the shape of those trees are just great!

    Any Tigers in your view? Mind you, a trip through a reserve is worth a great lot, Tigers or not. And I bet the atmosphere is mesmerising.
