We had a superb experience during the safari. From the booking to the adventure day, it was well planned and executed well. We spotted a tiger too. That was incredible! Thank you Piyush for being supportive and helpful. Thanks, Richa. Read on Google →
Very smooth process from start to finish. The team got back to us promptly
with all the details, making everything easy and stress-free. We got the opportunity to sight a tiger
at Bala Quila in Alwar, which made the experience truly memorable.
Thank you for a wonderful

We had an amazing Safari at Sariska Tiger Reserve. The sight of lush green Aravali hills and Tiger sitting behind the bushes & dancing peacocks truly enthralled us. We never had opportunity to see the wildlife from so close. Thanks for your insightful and proper guidance. Read on Google →
It was great. Actually, the gypsy driver and guide were too good. We did not
see Tiger during our trip but 80% into tour, they got a call from someone that there is a sighting near
exit gate water body. They drove too fast to reach that point and we were able to see Tiger.
So very
much interested in customer satisfaction and not just doing their round. Much appreciated. Read on Google →

No — Wild Enthusiast is an independent travel company. We handle safari booking assistance, permits, and trip planning on your behalf, while the Rajasthan Forest Department manages official park rules, fees, and permits directly.
Book through Wild Enthusiast by choosing Gypsy or Canter in the core zone, or a Gypsy in the buffer zone, along with your travel date and preferred shift. Valid ID details are required for every visitor, and confirmation follows successful payment and availability verification.
Core zone Gypsy pricing runs from ₹1,800 per seat (Indian) up to ₹20,000 for a full vehicle (foreigner). Canter seats start at ₹1,300. Buffer zone Gypsy rides range from ₹4,500 on the shorter Andheri Gate route to ₹10,500 on the longer Baraliwari Gate route.
The core zone, entered via Sariska Gate or Tehla Gate, covers Zones 1 to 4 and offers both Gypsy and Canter options. The buffer zone, entered via Baraliwari or Andheri Gate, is Full Gypsy only, with no shared seats or Canter.
Sariska Gate gives access to core Zones 1, 2, and 3, while Tehla Gate accesses core Zone 4. The buffer zone is reached separately through Baraliwari Gate (3.5-hour route) or Andheri Gate (1.5-hour route).
Safaris run twice daily, with timings shifting by season — roughly 6:00–10:30 am in the morning and 2:00–7:00 pm in the evening depending on the time of year.
A valid government-issued photo ID is required for every visitor. Foreign nationals must also submit passport details, and the same ID used at booking must be carried on the day of the safari.
Sariska permits can be booked up to 365 days in advance, well ahead of most other reserves. Even so, morning slots on weekends and holidays fill up quickly, so early booking is still recommended.
Sariska has built a strong tiger population since reintroduction efforts began in the 2000s, and Zones 1 through 3 near Sariska Gate offer the most consistent sightings. As with any wild reserve, a sighting can never be guaranteed.
You can choose your entry gate — Sariska Gate, Tehla Gate, Baraliwari, or Andheri — but the specific zone within the core area is allocated automatically by the forest department on the day of your safari.
October to March offers the most comfortable weather, while April to June typically brings the best tiger and leopard sighting odds as water sources shrink. Safaris also stay closed every Wednesday, regardless of season.

Get to know Sariska's safari management, how to choose your zone, and your chances of a tiger sighting.
Sariska Tiger Reserve is managed by the Rajasthan Forest Department on a permit system, with a fixed number of Gypsies and Canters allowed into each gate per shift. Bookings are made by gate, vehicle type, date, and shift, with visitor ID submitted at booking and re-verified at the gate. With permits bookable up to 365 days ahead — longer than most reserves — there's real flexibility in planning, though weekend and peak-season slots still move fast.
Sariska offers both Gypsy and Canter safaris in the core zone, entered through Sariska Gate or Tehla Gate. The buffer zone, reached via Baraliwari or Andheri Gate, is Full Gypsy only — no shared seats or Canter vehicles run on these routes.
Sariska Gate's Zones 1 and 3 carry the strongest reputation for tiger sightings, with Zone 2 a close, less-crowded alternative. Tehla Gate's Zone 4 trades a bit of sighting frequency for a quieter, more rugged drive and access to the Neelkanth Mahadev and Pandupol temples. The buffer zone gates suit travellers who want a shorter, calmer safari or are combining wildlife with other Alwar sightseeing.
Sariska's tiger population has grown steadily since reintroduction efforts began in the mid-2000s, and the core zones — particularly around Sariska Gate — now offer consistent sighting opportunities. Odds generally improve through the drier summer months as animals gather near known water points. As always, an early morning safari and an experienced naturalist meaningfully improve your chances, though no sighting can ever be guaranteed.
The zone breakdown above covers all four of Sariska's core zones plus its two buffer routes. In short: Sariska Gate opens onto Zones 1 to 3, the reserve's most visited and most productive core territory, while Tehla Gate's Zone 4 offers a quieter, more rugged alternative with historic temple access. The buffer zone, via Baraliwari or Andheri Gate, is a separate Full-Gypsy-only experience for a calmer pace.
