Pench National Park

Pench National Park
Another good place to try your luck for tigers is the Pench National Park, located on the southern boundary of Madhya Pradesh, about a five hour drive away from Kanha. Pench is the original setting for The Jungle Book by Rudyard Kipling. Rich in wildlife, Pench has high populations of Chital and Sambar. Especially famous for large herds of Gaur — the largest cattle in the world — Pench is good for sighting animals like the Sloth Bear, Barking Deer and Jackal. Staying at the Baghvan Wildlife Resort at Pench would be worth your while — named after the Bengal tiger, it is located at a five-minute drive from the park. Notable features of these suites include an outdoor shower as well as the usual one indoors, and a machan on top, complete with mosquito net, overhead fans and hookah pipes.
