Sariska Wildlife Reserve near Alwar in Rajasthan and/or Siliserh Lake in the same area.

Shilpa you may check out Chilla Reserve forest.
Chila Wildlife Sanctuary spread over an area of 820sq.km. & at an altitude of 300 to 1350 mts, a haven for animal watchers is about 8 kms. from Haridwar.
A stay at the tourist lodge is preferred by most tourists to enjoy the peaceful scenic surroundings. Tourists can avail to stay with prior notice at GMVN Tourist Bungalow. GMVN Gujar Huts. Irrigation Forest Bungalow. Forest Rest House.
Since you like water, The rafter’s camp at Kaudiyala developed by GMVN is just 62 kms. from Chila, providing an excellent opportunity for river rafting and water sports.

shilpaks · Oct 4th, 2006, 19:08

hey karan
do u have the contacts for any of these jungle resorts in tht sariska reserve(found this list on a website but they didnt have any info)

Jungle Resorts In Sriska :
» Sariska Palace
» Tigerden Resort
» Tiger Heaven

shilpaks · Oct 4th, 2006, 19:15

found some info:
the first two are expensive.
thrid one seems nice and affordable too, and it is run a tiger lover, so full marks to tht option

check out this: http://arounddelhi.com/sariska.htm

jyotirmoy · Oct 4th, 2006, 19:19

Tiger lover but there is no tiger at Sariska all have been poached away.

shilpaks · Oct 4th, 2006, 19:27

argh awesome!
then i guess i mite as well stick to the raju bhai's home stay!

how is this desert trails thingie near delhi(http://www.outlooktraveller.com/asps...t+Trails+Camp). anyone been there?

Karan321 · Oct 4th, 2006, 19:37

Tiger Den run by Rajasthan Tourism is a reasonable option and is inside the forest. Check out http://rajasthantourism.gov.in for info on Sariska and Siliserh lake. If you start early in the morning its only a 4 hour drive.

Yes, no tigers left in Sariska. The last one was spotted several years back though my friends who visited the park last year swore that they heard a roar.

shilpaks · Oct 5th, 2006, 16:33

my fav option still remains raju bhai's homestay

Karan321 · Oct 5th, 2006, 18:21

Raju's Cottage is quite nice and peaceful but a 12 hour plus drive from Delhi unless you fly to Kullu so you would need more than a weekend.

shilpaks · Oct 5th, 2006, 18:23

ouch! 12 is a little too much.
im looking at a max of 5-6 hours drive from delhi

shilpaks · Oct 6th, 2006, 12:50

anyone been to the lake palace at siliserh lake, near sariska sanctuary?

shilpaks · Nov 6th, 2006, 13:28

hey ppls
i did go to the siliserh lake palace resort. its a 3-4 drive from delhi , v close to alwar.
its beautiful place and a good place to chill over a weekend. will upload the snaps soon.
it got a little crowded on saturday evening, coz the place is open for even people who dont stay at the resort. otherwise its quite peaceful.
