a hunting lodge overlooking the sanctuary. Sariska is famous for the
Sariska Wildlife Sanctuary. Sariska Wildlife Sanctuary was declared as a sanctuary in 1955 and
later it was declared as a National Park in the year 1979. Sariska experience tropical climate, so here the summer are extreme hot and same is the condition in winter season too.
But even then people prefer to travel to Sariska in summers because due to
the heat, the wild animals are found hovering around the water spots and
it's a sheer delight to watch them. |
