About Alwar & Sariska

Alwar and Sariska offer a rare combination of Rajput heritage and tiger territory β€” just 200 km from Delhi. Sariska Tiger Reserve is one of the few parks where you can see Royal Bengal tigers against a backdrop of ancient Rajput ruins, Hanuman temples and dry deciduous forest stretching across the Aravalli hills.

The town of Alwar itself boasts the magnificent Bala Quila fort (one of Rajasthan's oldest), the lakeside Siliserh Palace, and the eerie abandoned city of Bhangarh β€” officially India's most haunted place. Together, Alwar-Sariska makes a thrilling 3-day escape from Delhi with tigers, forts and ghost stories.
