Lying in the wooded valley in the Aravali Hills, a tangle of greenery against red clay, Sariska Reserve & National Park covers 800 sq km and is divided into the grasslands, dry deciduous forests, sheer cliffs and rocky landscapes. It is home to sambars (deer), chitals (spotted deer), wild boars and lots of birds. It also has some fascinating, beautiful sights within and around its boundaries, including the spectacular hilltop Kankwari Fort and Bhangarh, a deserted, well-preserved 17th-century city that’s famously haunted.
Unlike most national parks, Sariska opens year-round, although the best time to spot wildlife is November to March. 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, chital, nilgai, four-horned antelope, wild boar, rhesus macaque, langur, hyena and jungle 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 eagle. Grey partridge, bush quail, tree pie and the great Indian horned owl are some of the other species found here. Also the Siliserh Lake on the edge of the park has a large number of crocodiles.
