Sariska


Sarsika Tiger reserve at one time had no tigers left. In 2009, 5 of them were relocated from Ranthambore. Although, it was out bad luck that we were not able to see any one of them during our trip.

Located near Alwar, Rajasthan - Sariska is a part of the Aravalli Hills

Locals collect dry woods from the areas nearby

With strict poaching laws, limited visitors are allowed to enter daily.
This encourages wildlife to be out in the open more freely without any danger.

The Safari was quite adventurous with our jeep turning narrow paths so dangerously.
Thanks to our 'First-time driver'.

It was really hot but the calmness of the birds cooled us down.

Keep the river streams clean ! Don't bathe in it !

They look at you with hostile eyes and your cameras are often their preys.

With so much deforestation in the past, the forest is beginning to revive.

It's summer time and every drop is precious.

Sun-baked

Barren and ironical

I think they both are arguing over a female antelope ;)

Crocodiles await

Peaceful co-existence

Power Nap or Is it ? Watch out

Bear Grylls would have found some protein here for sure !

Perfect weather for a nice dip in the lake

Attitude huh ?

Lost for direction? Ask the Mountains

Age of loneliness

  2. @Sanjeevkmenon - Thanks a lot. I wish I had a better camera. I would have loved to flaunt the close up shots of these animals. Nevertheless ...:D

  4. @Koyna, @magiceye - Thanks a lot :)

    @Madhu - Hopefully the numbers will increase. We were told that some tigresses were being transferred from Ranthambore to Sariska.
