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.
