Good to know

  • Bala Quila sits in Sariska's buffer zone; timings depend on the forest checkpost, so go in the morning.
  • Bhangarh is about 85 km away and Sariska's main gate about 35 km; either fits as a day trip from Alwar.
  • Permits: Forest entry for Bala Quila is paid at the checkpost on the fort road.
