Sariska Tourism

Sariska Tourism
Sariska is a storehouse of wild flora and fauna। It houses some of the famous species of deciduous plants and wild animals. It also cradles some of the rare species of birds, both native and migratory.

INTRODUCTION

The sanctuary covers an area of 800 sq km (including a core area of 498 sq km) and has sambar, spotted deer, wild boar, and above all, tigers. Project Tiger, the project launched in India to protect and preserve the tiger, has been in charge of the sanctuary since 1979.

Sariska National Park Wildlife Tours As in the Ranthambhore National Park, this park also contains ruined temples, as well as a fort and pavilions, built by the maharajas of Alwar. And the explorers delving deep into the jungle spread over nearly 900 square km can seek answers to shadowy mysteries in the crevices of the hills, remnants of a bygone age.


BEST TIME TO VISIT

The best time to visit this beautiful countryside is between November and June. One can see the most of the animals in the evening.

TOURISTS ATTRACTIONS

These same forests, ages ago, are supposed to have sheltered the exiled Pandava brothers, heroes of the epic Mahabharat. The dense forest and difficult terrain of Sariska shielded them until they reached the court at Viratnagar 66 km away and lived there disguised as servants of the king. Only five boulders now remain to testify to the presence of the five Pandavas and their wife, Draupadi.

Though the material relics of that age are scarce, the whole countryside is teeming with evidence of the presence of the heroic brothers. Bhima, the strongest brother, smote his scepter in the rock face of a cliff and created a passage for them through a gorge deep in the sanctuary. This is the place known as Pandupol, the most commonly visited spot within the Sariska area. It was here also that Bhima, who had acquired the strength of many thousand elephants by drunk from the eight jars of the nagas, received a setback to his inflated ego by Lord Hanuman. Hanuman lay across the road disguised as an old monkey and challenged Bhima to lift him when he was ordered to clear the way for the Pandavas to pass. Bhima could not even move his tail and accepted defeat. A temple here is dedicated to Hanuman in the human form.
