Delhi to Sariska Tiger Reserve Trip by Car
Sariska Tiger Reserve in Alwar district, Rajasthan, is one of the closest wildlife destinations from Delhi. Set in the Aravalli Hills, the park is home to Bengal tigers, leopards, sambar deer, and hundreds of bird species. A Delhi to Sariska road trip by car covers 200--220 km via NH48 and takes 4--5 hours -- short enough for a day trip, though an overnight stay lets you fit in a full morning safari.
