Sariska
The wide
spectrum and rich population of wildlife in the open dry
deciduous forest of Sariska is a marvel of ecological
adaptation and tolerance. Sariska Tiger Reserve is
situated in the northern part of the Aravali hills, nearly
200 kms. from Delhi on the Delhi -Alwar -Jaipur Road. An
area of 800 sq. kms., Sariska was declared a sanctuary in
1955 and it became a Tiger Reserve in 1979. In Sariska,
wildlife observation at the water holes is fascinating
during the hot days of April, May and June. Water
requirements increase and wildlife activities get
restricted to the water holes, specially around Kalighati
and Slopka. Sambars, chitals, nilgais, chausinghas,
jackals, wild boars, langurs etc. visit water holes
throughout the day.
