Outstation Cab Route
Ghaziabad to Sariska Taxi Service
Sariska Tiger Reserve is reachable from Ghaziabad via Delhi and NH-48, and hitting the pre-dawn gate timing matters just as much as the drive itself for a proper safari.
Route Overview
Ghaziabad to Sariska Taxi via Delhi and NH-48
Sariska runs smaller than some of Rajasthan's better-known reserves, but the fundamentals stay the same — safari sightings depend heavily on zone allocation, and gate timing carries more weight than most first-time visitors expect.
Kankwari Fort sits within the reserve boundary itself, a fortified structure ringed by forest, a genuine contrast to the open-desert forts found across most of Rajasthan.
Alwar's closeness to Sariska means the two are commonly paired into a single trip, adding the town's sights onto a safari day rather than treating them separately.
From Ghaziabad, the route runs through Delhi before joining NH-48, continuing until the turn-off toward the reserve — making the first safari slot generally means leaving well before sunrise.
Since the safari operates on a fixed schedule, arriving late risks losing the slot entirely, which is why the early departure carries more weight on this trip than most other day outings.

Places to Visit
Top Attractions in Sariska
- Sariska Tiger Reserve safari zones — This forested reserve offers tiger, leopard and deer sightings, with actual chances tied to zone allocation and the specific timing of the safari booked. Morning drives generally offer cooler temperatures and clearer visibility for wildlife spotting across the terrain.
- Kankwari Fort — This fortified structure sits within the reserve itself, surrounded by forest rather than the open desert setting typical of most other Rajasthan forts. Whether a given safari passes it depends on the route for that day, so it's worth checking with the driver or guide ahead of time.
- Pandupol Hanuman Temple — This temple, linked to local Mahabharata legend and the Pandavas, sits within the reserve and draws pilgrims in addition to wildlife visitors. Being set inside an active tiger reserve gives the visit a distinctly different feel from a typical temple stop.
Good to Know
Best Time to Travel and Road Notes
Best season: The reserve generally runs October through June, with winter offering cooler safari mornings and summer sometimes bringing wildlife closer to water sources. No matter the season, arriving on time at the gate matters more to the visit than which month is chosen.
Road note: NH-48 sees heavy traffic through several stretches, cutting into the buffer needed for an early safari slot. Drivers familiar with this route build in extra time rather than running things close.
Cab Choices
Cab Options for Sariska

- Drivers on this route know the safari-zone entry points and can plan the pickup timing around your slot.
- Larger groups travelling together for a wildlife trip usually take a Tempo Traveller.
FAQs
Ghaziabad to Sariska Taxi FAQs
How early should I leave Ghaziabad for a morning safari at Sariska?
Well before sunrise — the fixed safari schedule means being late costs the whole slot, and traffic through Delhi and NH-48 makes a narrow buffer risky.
Is Alwar worth adding to a Sariska trip from Ghaziabad?
Yes, the town is close enough that many travellers include its sights on the same day.
Why is Kankwari Fort notable?
It stands inside the tiger reserve, surrounded by forest, a real departure from the open-desert forts common across Rajasthan.
Are tiger sightings certain at Sariska?
No, they depend on the allocated safari zone and some luck, though the terrain does support tigers, leopards and deer.
Which months are best for a Sariska visit?
The park runs October to June, with winter bringing cooler mornings and summer sometimes drawing wildlife closer to water points.
Can the safari and Kankwari Fort be seen in one visit?
It depends on the route the safari zone takes that day, since access to the fort isn't guaranteed on every drive — checking with the driver or guide beforehand helps set the right expectation.
