Utsav Camp Sariska
Tucked into the dramatic landscape of the Aravalli hills, Utsav Camp Sariska is a peaceful, eco-conscious retreat just minutes from the lesser-visited Gate No. 2 of Sariska Tiger Reserve. The camp’s ten spacious stone cottages and luxury tents are thoughtfully positioned among granite boulders and native forest. Interiors are simple but tasteful, with locally sourced materials, comfortable furnishings, and open-air bathrooms that invite the outdoors in. A central dining area serves fresh, seasonal cuisine, and guests can unwind in the infinity pool, library, or spa after a day of exploration.
Guided safaris offer the chance to spot leopard, hyena, sambar, and—on occasion—the elusive Bengal tiger. Nature walks and birdwatching are led by expert naturalists, and camera traps around the property reveal fascinating glimpses of nocturnal wildlife. A central dining area serves fresh, seasonal cuisine, and guests can unwind in the infinity pool, library, or spa after a day exploring the park.

Naturalist guides were brilliant. We seem to have been given the best one in each place. Had same one for whole of stay in each place. Cultural guides gave just enough information and then left you to ask questions about what interested you which is what we like. They did not seem to have a set patter. Helpful about photographic sites – i.e. good position to take photos.
[OVERALL STANDARD OF SERVICE] Excellent isn’t good enough. In every place we were treated like royalty. Totally relaxed and felt totally safe but not smothered.
[WILDLIFE HIGHLIGHTS] 11 tigers, innumerable rhino, wild elephants, buffalo, otters, hog and swamp deer, and wild boar. Birds at Keoladeo excellent. Watched leopard and three cubs at Siana for 1.5 hrs of exceptional viewing.
An outstanding holiday which far exceeded our expectations. Many people would enjoy it I’m sure.
