It is the nearest tiger-land
from Delhi (190 km). The landscape of Sariska is dominated by sharp cliffs
of hills and narrow valleys of the Aravallis. The forests are dry and
deciduous. The grassy glades and woodland covers are excellent niches for
the animals of prey namely tiger and leopard.
Sariska also provided sanctuary to sambar, chital, nilgai, four horned
antelope, wild boar and common languor. Peacocks are a special attraction
for photographers. Porcupines can be spotted after dark. For photographers,
The ruins of temples of Garh-Rajor of the 10th and 11th centuries
remind of the past glories of the area. The hill-fort Kankwari stands as a
sentinel of its mediaeval heritage. It also provides a bird's eye view of
the valley below.
The Sariska palace provides fine accommodation
during your stay.
