What Can You Spot in Sariska Tiger Reserve?

Ofcourse, it is one of the famous tiger reserves in India. So, tigers are the real treat in Sariska National Park. Since the jungles are dense, it is hard to spot them sometimes. No worries, the officials and safari guides will have the first hand information on tiger spotting. They will take you to the zones where they have been spotted as soon as they get the information.

If you are one of those unlucky ones who couldn't see the 'Kings of the reserve' then don't bother, Sariska National Park has much more to explore. It is an abode to different kinds of birds like golden backed-woodpecker, white-throated kingfisher, gray patridge, peacocks and so on. Wildlife safaris are fun even without spotting the big cats because of the thick jungles which we never get to see and other interesting sightings of hanuman langur, spotted deer, sambhar, striped hyena, chinkara, wild cats, etc.

Wildlife Safari in Sariska Tiger Reserve

Yes, wildlife safaris are organised by the Forest Department. The national park is divided into different zones and tourists are taken to these zones looking at the possibility of tiger sightings. It is good to book the safaris before hand but you have to pay the entrance fee and guide charges once you get there. Visitors are taken in open gypsies with a tourist guide who will explain about the jungle and the animals. These tourist guides know a lot about the animals and their behaviour. So try to ask them more questions and make use of their knowledge.
