Sariska National Park & Tiger Reserve, located in the Alwar district of the state of Rajasthan, is the first destination in the world with successfully relocated Tigers.
The reserve stretches over an area of 881 square km divided into the grasslands, dry deciduous forests, sheer cliffs, and rocky landscape. Initially, a wildlife sanctuary later declared as a national park is a home to some of the top predators and an important biodiversity area. It was once a hunting preserve of Alwar and gained recognition for housing the ruins of the 11th century’s Garh-Rajor Temple. Also, the 17th century’s Kankwari Fort situated on the hilltop offers a charismatic view of the soaring raptors.
Since Sariska National Park circles the Siliserh Lake and the Jai Samand Lake, it is home to various crocodiles, water snakes, and different creatures of land and water.Major Wildlife
