The Project Tiger Reserve
 The
Sariska Sanctuary is a Project Tiger Reserve with a rich
wealth of fauna which includes mainly the leopard, tiger,
several species of deer, porcupine, etc. It is also home to
an exotic variety of birds. Dotting the Sariska valley are
facinating ruins which merge with the landscape and tell
tales of history, myth and legend to the traveler. The
Sariska Palace Hotel, located amidst this forest and the
ancient Aravalis, was built as a hunting lodge for the
erstwhile rulers of Alwar State.
It is now a
Heritage Hotel combining the best of a bygone royal grandeur
and modern comfort. From the palace you can go on excursions
which are truly an unforgettable experience……….
