Best Places to Visit in Alwar
Sariska Tiger Reserve
For many visitors, Sariska is the main reason to visit.
The reserve features dry deciduous landscapes, hills and wildlife including tiger, leopard, sambar, chital and other species.
Important: Wildlife sightings are never guaranteed.
Do not plan a safari with the expectation that every trip produces a tiger sighting.
Siliserh Lake
A peaceful choice for couples and families.
Alwar City Palace
Useful for understanding the city’s royal heritage.
Moosi Maharani Ki Chhatri
A good architecture and photography stop.
Bala Qila
Access arrangements can change, so verify local opening/access information before visiting.
Rajasthan Tourism’s current destination page notes temporary access restrictions, which makes pre-trip verification important.
