Sariska Reviews

Sariska Experience: better than ranthambore. Terrain is better. Saw more wild animals than ranthambore. Lots of peacock, Cheetal, sambar are comon sites and a wild boar (pig), croc.

Food, sight-seeing and shopping: Since tourists were few in morning had to hire the full jeep for 3 of us (it takes otherwise) for rs. 2640/- net. Saw tiger pug marks but no tiger. better to have at least 2 families (ie. at least 2 neb) in the jeep as it got scary on a couple of occassions in the thick forest. Most interesting highlight was when we stopped for 10min at a resthouse in the park and lots of these birds (size of a crow) called tiger brush birds came and ate namak pare/ buiscuits from our hand, sta on muy head and felt totally un scared. it was better than Jurong bird park in singapore. Food is below average at Tiger den but the location is best next to the park. Staff is ok. went by own car from delhi 213 km . reached at .40 pm at sariska which was rather late for a single family. not at all advisable and must reach at least 2 hrs before sunset esp. at sariska. the drive from alwar to sariska is 30 km on hilly track. overall very good experience.

Activities & things to do: visit siliserh lake abt 19 km from sariska on way back to alwar and 4 km off the road. lots of langurs and lake is big and beautiful. not to be missed. can stay in lake palace. avg. room rent with breakfast and dinner is rs. 2350/- net at both places approx.

Travel tips, How to reach, travel warnings etc: can droive on own in car. take snacksd with you. reach 2 hrs before sunset. take woolens and warm caps or muflers even in march as early mornings are cold. canters were not seen and better time is 6.30 am. to visit park compred to afternoon. from delhi go to gurgaon then bhiwadi on the NH 8 and then on Al;war road from bhuiwadi 90 km straight to alwar. this is a very good road one way and lots of hilly tracts nearing alwar and worth driving. from alwar a 30 km hilly run to sariska.

Sariska Experience: Its a very nice weekend destination - away from the usual hustle bustle of cities, lush green, very peaceful. not much of places for stay, but whatever few resorts available gives you worth for money! i personally was surprised with lot of greenery all around with enchanting birds - hard to believe you are in rajasthan! perfect place to relax!

Food, sight-seeing and shopping: As for food, all resorts include all meals packages as there are almost nil other restaurants/ dhabas. food served is of good quality, limited menu and dont expect pizzas, chinese or burgers! one of the star hotel may serve all these. For the sight seeing, obviouly its the wild life safari - now with two tigers added to it! we missed them by a whisker! otherwise the jungle is full of all types of deers, jackals, wild boars, rabbits, different birds- kingfishers, peacocks, wild hens, all. Ponds are full of fishes. best thing is, during your safari rides, all these wanders on and around ur way! other places are pandupole bajrangbali temple- about 20 kms inside t sanctuary and as the name suggests it is related with pandavs who had spend some time here during their agyatvaas! not to miss a outing to silised lake, just about 20 kms towards alwar. its a huge lake, surrounded all around by moutain ranges with a rtdc hotel encroaching in it! one can stay there also or can just have meals/snacks. boating is there. best part is no moblie network works there- total peace of mind! shopping point of view, good news for hubbies- nothing to shop for! too good for ones pockets!

Activities & things to do: activities-- safari, boating at silised lake, and whatever your resort has in offer locally. one can also enjoy a drive!

Travel tips, How to reach, travel warnings etc: connected by road only, just 30 kms from alwar( nearest railhead) or jaipur at 100 kms ( railhead, flights , roadways). roads tend to become bumpy as you start reaching sariska may b 25-30 kms stretch. make sure to carry some warm clothes, it can become very cool during early morng n late evng plus make sure of your accommodation one day prior if u r booked in rtdc hotels as it is cancelled without notice in case forest officails r there! we faced this as once on our day of booking coincided with tiger project of sariska!
