The state forest department is exploring possibilities to develop more zones for tourism atSariskaTiger Reserve (STR). The famed reserve now gives access to only 5% of the area for safaris.
Many stakeholders have pointed out that there are no safari zones in STR where big cats inhabit. As part of it, the department has already started work on a 17km protection route for effective monitoring.
As per NTCA norms, a maximum 20% of the core/critical tiger habitat can be used for regulated tourism. In Sariska, there are many tigers in Talvriksha range, but there are no safari and monitoring zones
