Alwar is nestled between clusters of small hills of the Aravallis and has a long history under the Rajputs Mughals and later the British. The city also has a rich natural heritage with some beautiful lakes and picturesque valleys thickly wooded in parts. Once known as the Tiger State Alwar houses the famous Sariska Sanctuary unfortunately rampant poaching has recently made the tiger extinct here. It is a part of National Capital Region (NCR) and is located around 160 km south of Delhi and about 150 km north of Jaipur the capital of Rajasthan. Alwar was formerly the capital of the princely state of Alwar or Ulwar in British India.
