Sariska National Park is a wildlife sanctuary, located at a distance of 107 km from Jaipur. The park 
possesses historical monuments and temples, which defect the legacy of the maharajas of Alwar. 
The park is bigger than Ranthambore but has a similar topography. Though this sanctuary does not 
have many tigers yet many wild animals dwell on the grounds of this park. Apart from other 
carnivores and herbivores, you can also trace Rhesus monkeys, which can usually be seen playing 
tricks upon one another around the Tad Vriksh(palm tree). The park also shelters many different 
species of birds including Bush Quails, Sand Grouses, Tree Pies, Golden Backed Woodpeckers etc. 
Animal lovers would definitely love this place as it will offer them some of the best scenes to

Salupka waterhole.
