Destinations: Pench National Park Duration: 03 Nights and 04 Days Tour Code: 1469-GWF Tour Price: XXXX
Description The forests of Central India have long been a mecca for wildlife enthusiasts, and the tiger reserves of Madhya Pradesh are even more so. Not only do these national parks have a high density of tigers, resulting in better sightings, but they are also home to a wide variety of landscapes, meaning that you get the maximum number of birds and animals possible in these areas.
Pench National Park is in central India, on the border of the states of Maharashtra and Madhya Pradesh. Established in 1975, it gets its name from the Pench River that flows through the park, dividing it into almost equal halves. The well-forested area of Seoni is famous as the setting of Rudyard Kipling’s The Jungle Book. The principal attraction here is the tiger, although the park also has a good population of leopards, sloth bears, and several deer species, as well as being home to many birds. Villages inhabited by farmers, laborers, and members of the Gond tribe inhabit the surrounding areas.
