History of Sariska National Park

The Maharajah of Alwar used to go on the hunting expeditions in ancient times. These ancient jungles have a mention in mythology as it is believed that the Pandava brothers roamed in this central forest area during exile. This is known as Pandu Pol. In the year 1955, it was made to be a wildlife reserve.

This wildlife sanctuary was declared a national park and tiger in the year 1978. This tiger reserve was the very first one in the country to start relocating tigers under the Indian Governments Project Tiger Scheme as there was a sudden decline in their numbers. They successfully relocated these tigers who later became a better number.

Wildlife Safari in Sariska

This is one of the greatest adventure activities for wildlife enthusiasts and nature lovers. The Wildlife Safari in Sariska NationalPark is one of the best experiences of the visit to Sariska.

Climate of Sariska National Park

The Sariska Wildlife Sanctuary has climatic conditions that are unpredictable. No point of time in the year the forest does not receive downpour. However, this is the reason why there are green forests all year round. The monsoons gift a beautiful look when compare to the dry and arid landscape due to the summer months.

However, the summers are very hot especially in the months of April and May. Temperatures even go up to 49 degrees. So, you can say this is the best time to view the wild cats in their natural habitat (for those who are able to endure the blistering summer).

Now you can understand that after the summer the monsoons do not give much respite. This is because the temperatures do not take an immediate dip. Again you can owe this to the insufficient rainfall even during monsoon. Hence the temperature does not fall beyond a few numbers.

During the winter months, temperatures range from 15 degrees to 4 degrees. The chilly period is worst at the Sariska Wildlife Sanctuary during the months of October to March. Hence you can say that the Climate of Sariska Wildlife Sanctuary is extreme.
