The Thrills Around Utsav Camp Sariska

1. Sariska National Park Safari (Around 7 km)
About 10 minutes from the camp lies the renowned Sariska National Park, home to majestic Bengal tigers, leopards, and a stunning array of birdlife. The jeep safari, which runs from October to March (closed on Wednesdays), is the best way to explore its rugged trails and scenic waterholes. Each turn reveals the pulse of the jungle—deer grazing, peacocks dancing, and the exquisite sunsets that make every safari unforgettable. You can conveniently book safaris directly through Utsav Camp Sariska when reserving your stay.

2. Neelkanth Temple Trek (Around 17 km)
For those who find peace in movement, this scenic forest trail leads to an ancient Shiva temple carved in solitude. The trek isn’t just about reaching the top—it’s about embracing the stillness of the jungle and connecting with Rajasthan’s spiritual rhythm.

3. Bhangarh Fort Exploration (Around 36 km)
If you’ve got a thing for mystery, Bhangarh Fort is your spot. One of India’s most talked-about archaeological marvels, this fort is as beautiful as it is intriguing. Surrounded by the Aravallis, its crumbling corridors whisper stories of kings, queens, and legends that never left. It’s history served with a side of thrill.

3. Siliserh Lake (Around 80 km)
A calm counterpoint to all that adventure, Siliserh Lake invites you to unwind with boating, kayaking, or just soaking in panoramic views of the hills mirrored in its waters. It’s perfect for couples or families seeking a relaxed yet memorable day trip.
