Sariska Palace
The Sariska Palace was built by Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh of Alwar at the end of the 19th century. It is considered as one of the prime heritage hotels in Alwar, Rajasthan in India.
This hotel was basically built with an idea to make it an ideal gateway to the nearby forest ad also to serve the nobles and the travelers to rest. Initially it was a hunting lodge at the threshold of the calm quiet and thickly wooded Sariska National Park. The palace is admired and is a site for the travelers and visitors with its great architectural works.
The forest around the place is home to various birds and animals. Animals like chital, hyena, neel gai, wild boar. The tiger though is present in the area but the sightings are rare in the jungle. The forest also has a rich bird life especially around various waterholes and the lakes in the area. Hawk, Eagle, Woodpecker, Kingfisher etc are some of the bird population known here.
The other places to visit are the temples and forts. The Pandupol Temple is the most famous one dedicated to Hanuman. It was created by the Gada of Bhima of Mahabharata when he struck it on a cliff to make way for pandavas. The temple of Neelkanth is also a sight and is dedicated to Lord Shiva. Most of the temples around are now in shambles and ruins. The other is the fort of Kankanwadi which was built by Aurangzeb. The Fort top has a breathtaking view.
The hotel has more than 100 air conditioned rooms, multi cuisines restaurants & bar, swimming pool, Ayurvedic Health Center, and many sports activities.
