Experience Sariska

One landscape. Many ways to know it.

At Utsav Camp Sariska, experiences begin with the landscape. Some take you through Tehla Gate (Gate No. 2) into Sariska National Park in search of wildlife. Others follow bird calls, ancient trails, and the history of Tehla, or simply find the right place to watch the sun disappear behind the Aravalli Hills.

We bring them together through three distinct ways of experiencing Sariska: Wild, Soul, and Conserve. Each reveals a different side of the destination, shaped by the people, places, and natural world that surround us.

Three Ways to Experience Sariska

Wild

Follow the landscape. Safaris through Tehla Gate, wilderness drives, guided walks, and birdwatching take you closer to the habitats and wildlife of the Tehla side of Sariska, in the company of people who know how to read its tracks, calls and changing seasons.

Explore Wild

Soul

Stay for the moments in between. Ancient temples, outdoor breakfasts, high tea, sunsets among the boulders, and dinners beneath the stars reveal another side of Sariska, rooted in the history, landscape, and slower rituals of Tehla.

Explore Soul

Conserve

Understand what sustains the landscape. Step closer to the work behind the experience, from wildlife documentation and native planting to local livelihoods and the everyday choices involved in living alongside a protected landscape.

Do experiences at Utsav Camp Sariska need to be booked in advance?

Advance planning is recommended, particularly for Sariska National Park safaris and private experiences. Availability may depend on the season, weather, park regulations, and operational conditions.

How many days should I stay to experience Sariska?

A stay of two to three nights allows more time to combine Sariska National Park safaris with birdwatching, wilderness activities, and experiences around Tehla rather than relying on a single game drive.

What are the Sariska safari timings, and how long does a safari last?

Each safari lasts about 3 to 4 hours. In summer, morning safaris run from 6:00 a.m. to 9:30 a.m. and evening safaris from 3:00 p.m. to 6:30 p.m.; in winter, from 6:30 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. and 2:30 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. The reserve is closed for safaris from July to September.

What is the Wilderness Walk?

The Wilderness Walk is an hour-long walk through Tehla’s untamed trails with an expert naturalist, held at dawn and dusk. It focuses on reading tracks, calls, and signs of wildlife, and on observing animals ethically. Sightings cannot be guaranteed.

Are tiger sightings guaranteed on a Sariska safari?

No. Tiger sightings cannot be guaranteed on any safari, but experienced naturalists improve your chances of seeing tigers and the wider wildlife of the reserve. As of June 2026, Sariska is home to 56 tigers, and their territories cross both sides of the reserve.
