Alwar Tourism: Hotels, Reviews, Packages, Photos, Maps, Experience, Itinerary

Alwar is nestled between clusters of small hills of the Aravallis and has a long history under the Rajputs, Mughals and later the British. The city also has a rich natural heritage with some beautiful lakes and picturesque valleys, thickly wooded in parts. Once known as the Tiger State, Alwar houses the famous Sariska Sanctuary unfortunately rampant poaching has recently made the tiger extinct here. It is rich in other smaller wildlife, however.

Sightseeing Highlights:

The royal Rajput ambience still pervades in the city, marked by a number of structures of historical significance. Cordoned off by the rocky Aravalli hills, the Alwar Fort is the most interesting monument of this city. The rampart of this fort stretches to about 5 kilometers and stands about 304 m above
