Sariska Tiger Reserve in April
Rajasthan, India
Go if you prioritize tiger sightings over comfort—April's heat is punishing but waterhole concentration peaks, making sightings more reliable than cooler months.
April heats the Aravalli rock and bakes Sariska's thorn forest — but the waterholes become gathering points where patience pays in tigers.
