Sariska Tiger Reserve 
The
picturesque Siliserh Lake lies along the edge of the Sariska Tiger Reserve and
a charming hunting lodge overlooking marvellous place for visitors to stay. The
dry Herds of sambar, chital, nilgai and sounders of wild boar - the prey population
for predators like the tiger and leopard, roam the 765.80 sq. km. Reserve. Other
carnivores include the hyena, jungle cat, and caracal. Interestingly enough, the
dhole or wild dog has been sighted in the Park only in the last few years. The
Park has hides carefully located near the water holes. These afford fine opportunities
for viewing and photographing wildlife. Splendid ruins scattered in the vicinity
of Sariska give it an added interest. The Neelkanth temples (6th-l3th century
AD) are just 32 km. from the Park and the historic Kankwari Fort inside the Reserve,
is where the Emperor Aurangzeb once imprisoned his brother Dara Shikoh. A splendid
palace complex built in 1902, with a 'French' pavilion and swimming pool, is now
a hotel.
