03: BHARATPUR - RANTHAMBOR
After taking breakfast proceed to
The Ranthambore National Park. Main
Attraction - Ranthambore National
Park & Tiger Reserve.
The most fascinating and most popular
excursion taken from the national
park is to the Ranthambore Fort. This
fort was built by the Chauhans in
the 10th century. The fort is located
at a very strategic position between
north and central India and hence
it was always coveted by many rulers.
This fort is famous for the 'Johar'
(suicide by immolation to escape humilitaion)
by Rajput women in 1301AD during the
siege by Ala-ud-din Khilji. The temples
and tanks add to the beauty of the
fort. The seven gates and massive
curtain walls, crowning a fall-topped
hill presents a majestic view. Overnight
at the hotel. |

Day 05: JAIPUR-
SARISKA
In the morning we will proceed to
Sariska. Sariska National Park lies
in the Aravalli hills and is the
former hunting preserve of the Maharaja
of Alwar. Sariska itself is a wide
valley with two large plateaus and
is dotted with places of historical
and religious interest, including
the ruins of the Kankwari Fort,
the 10th century Neelkanth temples,
the Budha Hanumab Temple near Pandupol,
the Bharthari Temple near the park
office, and the hot and cold springs
of Taalvriksh. The large Siliserh
Lake is at the north-eastern corner.
The forests are dry deciduous, with
trees of Dhak, Acacia, Ber and Salar.
The Tigers of Sariska are largely
nocturnal and are not as easily
seen as those of Ranthambhor. The
park also has good populations of
Nilgai, Sambar and Chital. In the
evenings, Indian Porcupine, Striped
Hyaena, Indian Palm Civet and even
Leopard are sometimes seen. The
forests are lush during and immediately
following the monsoon, but during
the dry months of February May there
is a shortage of water and in consequence
mammals are attracted to water holes.
At this time of year visibility
is good because of the sparse foliage.
Sariska is excellent for birdwatching
and has an unusually large population
of Indian Peafowl. Overnight at
the hotel in Sariska.
