Operating: Available on all open park days; final safari availability depends on forest permits and zone schedules.
Timings: Typical departure around 05:30–06:00 AM with late‑evening return to Delhi; exact timings can be adjusted to your safari slot and season.

Detailed Itinerary (Sample Plan)
05:30–06:00 AM – Departure from Delhi
Your day starts early with pick‑up from your hotel, home stay or airport in Delhi / NCR. Sit back in your private AC car as you leave the city behind and drive towards Sariska, enjoying the changing scenery from urban outskirts to fields and low hills.
Late Morning – Arrival and Safari Preparation
On arrival near Sariska Tiger Reserve, there is time to freshen up before you head to the designated entry gate for your pre‑booked jeep or canter safari. Your driver or representative helps with basic formalities such as showing ID and confirming permits before you board the park vehicle.
Jungle Safari in Sariska
During the safari your naturalist or driver takes you along forest tracks, open grasslands and around water bodies where animals often come to drink. Keep your eyes open for signs of tigers and leopards, and enjoy sightings of sambar, chital, nilgai, wild boar, langurs and many resident and migratory birds. The experience usually lasts 2–3 hours, depending on the slot and season, and follows strict park rules on routes, speed and behaviour.
Afternoon – Lunch and Optional Local Exploration
After the safari, relax over lunch at a local resort or restaurant near the park. If time and interest allow, you may take a short drive to nearby viewpoints or heritage spots outside the core wildlife area, or simply enjoy some quiet time before starting the journey back to Delhi.
Evening – Return Drive to Delhi
In the late afternoon you begin the return drive to Delhi. As you travel back through the Aravalli landscape, you can review your photos, share sightings and unwind after a day in nature. On reaching Delhi in the evening, you are dropped at your preferred location, concluding your one‑day Sariska wildlife escape.
