About Sariska Wildlife Sanctuary
Throughout the past century, Sariska enjoyed a formidable reputation as one of India's fewest wildlife parks that guaranteed tigers sightings. In facts, it was thanks to its impressive tiger population that Sariska was afforded protection by erstwhile Alwar state- these grounds where once a hunting preserves of trigger happy royals, who had goats tied to the poles to attract the tigers. But the extincting tiger population and species made conservation a buzzword and thus Sariska was made a a Project Tiger Reserve in 1978. In 1958 the reserve was made upgraded to a sanctuary. The forest in front of you is Sariska Wildlife Sanctuary, a very uncommon habitat both locally and globally! This Sanctuary supports several rare plants and animals. Located 107 kms from Jaipur, the Sariska National Park is in a wooden valley, surrounded by barren mountains. The dry deciduous forests of the ancient Aravalli range cover the area of the Sariska National Park and Tiger Reserve.
Sariska Wonders
Sariska gives you a chance to see langur and nilgai and many birds such as the white- breasted Kingfisher. But, apart from the wildlife and forest itself, part of Sariska's allure has always been the number of places of historical interests, such as temples and monuments, in its vicinity.
Major Wildlife Attractions
The main fauna in the park includes the Tiger, Panther, Hyena, Jungle Cat, Civet, Sambhar, Chinkara, Nilgai and Four-Horned Antelope. The other great predator of Sariska's forests is the leopard besides the ferocious tiger. Sariska has a healthy porcupine population, and this tiny creature often pits itself against the tiger, which is particularly fond of porcupine flesh. The 'Chowsingha' (four horned antelope) is commonly found at Sariska; exclusively Indian, it is the world's only wild creature, which has two pairs of horns. The Park's terrain is also congenial to the Chinkara (Indian Gazelle) and Nilgai. Known for their lack of bashfulness are the Rhesus and Langur, which tolerate human closeness with amazing aplomb.
