Sariska Tiger Heaven

Eastern Rajasthan


This isolated place about 3km west of the bus stop at Thanagazi village will pick you up from the village's bus stop (₹200). Rooms are set in stone-and-tile cottages and have big beds and windowed alcoves. It’s a tranquil, if overpriced, place to stay. Staff can arrange 4WDs and safaris and guides to the reserve.
