Pench National Park
Photographing Tigers in Pench National Park
Overview
Pench National Park is located 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 main 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.
