Pench Tiger Reserve is situated in the Seoni and Chhindwara districts of Madhya Pradesh. This national park derives its name from the Pench River, which meanders its way through the entire stretch of the 757 Square Kilometers National Park. The river runs from north to south, dividing the park into almost equal western and eastern halves – the well forested areas of Chhindwara and Seoni districts respectively. Kala Pahar, the park’s highest hill, reaches 650 m above sea level. The Park’s open habitat not only lends well to wildlife viewing, but it also offers striking views of the area’s sheer beauty.

Flora and Fauna: The forested area is a blend of dry deciduous forest and tropical moist deciduous forest, and is rich with beautiful shrubs trees and climbers. Teak, Mahua, Tendu, Bija, Amaltas and Palas all find their home here. While charmingly swaying bamboo grasses line the water courses and dot the valleys.

Mammals:  Pench’s gorgeous landscape is home to a number of endangered species. Twenty-five glorious tigers share the prey animals with the leopard, wolf, jungle cat, dhol (Indian wild dog), hyena and jackal. Chital, sambhar, muntjac, gaur, wild boar, langur and rhesus macaques also roam these forests.

Birds:  Birdwatcher’s paradise, more than three hundred fascinating and beautiful species fill the skies with their calls. Parakeets, hornbills, kingfishers, barbets, minivets, orioles, wagtails and a host of majestic raptors, including the crested serpent eagle, crested hawk eagle and white-eyed buzzard etc.

Reptilians:  include cobra, krait, viper, python, turtle and a number of lizard varieties, including varanus.
