An impeccable place to walk down the memory lanes of your childhood days of the famous story ‘The Jungle Book’.

In the heart of India, Madhya Pradesh, Pench National Park is located in the districts of Seoni and Chhindwara. Named after the pristine River Pence which flows through the park, Pench National Park is one of the most popular wildlife reserves in India. The park also has its mention in the famous story of 1894, ‘The Jungle Book’, penned down by the renowned English Author Rudyard Kipling. The story was worldwide applauded, and hence, the national park became one of the popular national parks in the world in the 1970s and also a prominent tourist attraction in India. Since then, every year oodles of wildlife buffs flock to this place just to spot the famous characters of the book, Akela (The Indian Wolf), Raksha (the female Wolf), Baloo (Sloth Bear), and the vicious Shere Khan (Royal Bengal Tiger).

Sprawls over a massive area of 758 sq km, including the core area, Pench National Park has a rich wildlife which proffers visitors an opportunity to indulge into one of the finest wildlife experiences in India. Since its inception in 1965 as a wildlife sanctuary, the park has serving as the cosy nest of numerous wild creatures including the Royal Bengal tiger, jackal, peafowl, wild dog, wild boar, sloth bear, Indian leopard, fox, striped hyena, monkey, gaur, barking deer, four-horned antelope, Indian wolf, and more such enthralling species. However, later in the year 1975 and 1992, the sanctuary got the recognition of national park and tiger reserve, respectively.

Interestingly, the forest area of Pench is contiguously shared by two Indian states, Madhya Pradesh and Maharashtra. From the total 758 square kilometres of Safari space in Pench National Park, 257 sq. km lies in Maharashtra. This allows tourists to commence their Jungle Safari in the Pench tiger reserve from either side. As the wildlife inside the park knows no boundary, the chances of spotting the fauna do not vary in any region whatsoever. If the tourists want to enter the jungle from the Seoni district of Madhya Pradesh or find entering through the Nagpur district of Maharashtra comfortable, Pench enables safari booking from both routes.
