Situated in a wooden valley, Sariska National
Park is surrounded by barren mountains and is
one of the major wildlife haunts that feature
in every tourist's wildlife itinerary.The
Sariska Tiger Reserve is steeped in history.
The Mughal emperor, Aurangzeb, is said to have
imprisoned his elder brother, Dara Shikoh, in
the striking hilltop fort of Kankwadi. The
ruins of a myriad Hindu and Jain temples built
between the 8th and the 12th centuries are a
testimony to the great architecture of the
past. Pandupole, in the park's southeast, is
associated with the Pandavas of the Hindu
epic, the Mahabharata. The popular temple of
the god Hanuman is a favoured spot with
monkeys.
The palace built by the late Maharaja Jai
Singh of Alwar between 1892 and 1902 is now
largely converted into a luxury hotel. A keen
shikari, the maharaja ensured the protection
of his private hunting reserve with
watch-towers to monitor the wildlife and
waterholes to improve the habitat. A wildlife
sanctuary was declared here in 1955 and a
273.80-sq kin area was upgraded to a national
park in 1992. The north-west limit of the
tiger's distribution, Sariska was included in
Project Tiger in 1978-79. Sariska, which lies
in the Aravali Range of arid north-east
Rajasthan, has steep hills, low slopes and dry
but dense forest covering its rugged
landscape. In the dry months of summer and
winter the forest looks brown and parched but
is splashed with the vivid orange-red blooms
of the flame of the forest tree in
March-April. Troops of langurs relish their
fleshy petals and birds feast on the
nourishing nectar.
The forest intermingles with stretches of
grassland where herbivores such as the Sambar
(the largest Indian deer), the Spotted Deer or
Chital, the Wild Boar and the Common Langur
can be seen, usually with bands of peafowl.
Nilgai (Blue Bull) and Chowsingha (Four-horned
Antelope) are also common grazers, distinct
from true antelopes in the structure of their
horns, which are keeled in front and unringed.
They are native only to India. Mistakenly
classified with the cow family, the Blue Bull
has largely escaped persecution. Rather like a
horse in appearance, the male is much darker
than the female.
The numerous waterholes get many animal
visitors, especially in summer. Observation
hides at Kalighati and Slopka, waterholes in
the heart of the park, can be highly rewarding
as there is movement all day long, the
slightest sign of a predatory tiger or leopard
setting off a flurry of activity. The tiger
here is more crepuscular and nocturnal than in
Ranthambore, 200 km to the south.
While Sariska and its wildlife have survived
waves of ancient Invasions, increasing human
Population and demands are now their greatest
challenge.
