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. Moreover, the Kankawati Fort
is one of the wonders of Sariska that stands
alone and neglected. As if aware of the fact
that the fort is abandoned, the jungle beasts,
especially the leopards, come here for some
outdoor hunting spree.
Sariska is connected to Jaipur by road
(2 hours drive/ 110 Kms ), regular buses
are also available from Alwar. Jaipur
is the nearest city which is connected
to all major cities by all possible means.
::
Kankawadi Fort :: The Kankawadi fort is
an important tourist attraction of Sariska.
Though not maintained properly, it is the
only historic monument showing the Mughal
connection with Sariska.
::
Siliserh Lake :: Located near the Sariska
tiger reserve, just off the Alwar-Sariska
road is the wonderfully picturesque Siliserh
lake.
::
Deeg :: Located at a distance
of few kilometres from Sariska, Deeg is a
famous place especially known for its wonderful
palaces and gardens
Summers (April-June) have high
temperatures but the monsoon season is not marked
by very heavy rainfall and due to this, the fall
in temperature is not more than a few degrees. Even
then, many people prefer to travel to Sariska in
the summers, as, due to the heat, the wild animals
are found hovering around the jungle's watering
holes. Weather, however, becomes chilly in winters
(October-March).
