Madhya Pradesh is India's heritage heartland. This central region of India is blessed by nature and home to wild animals, delving into the history which is alive with flora and fauna. Holidays in Madhya Pradesh are a pleasure for people who live their life to the fullest and go beyond the conventional to discover the thrill and adventure of the woods. 201 km from Jabalpur and 93 km from Nagpur, Pench is famous for its Tiger Reserve propagated majorly in Madhya Pradesh and is the best place to visit in Pench. It is named after the Pench river that flows through it.

The Jungle Book connection 

No child has come to their teenage years, without reading or watching 'The Jungle Book.' The escapade of the little boy Mowgli, the Bagheera, and the villain Sher Khan written by Rudyard Kipling was inspired by the beauty of Pench National Park. The places described in 'The Jungle Book' are the locations marked at Alikatta village and the Seeonee hills. This is the reason, Pench Tiger Reserve is also popularly known as 'Land of The Jungle Book.'

Flora and Fauna 

The vegetation of the Reserve is southern tropical, it is a bit moist teak forest and dry mixed deciduous forest.

A magnificent expanse in Madhya Pradesh, Pench Tiger Reserve, though is a tiger territory, it also shelters a dense population of cheetal (Spotted Deer), followed by leopard, sambhar, gaur (Indian bison), chousingha (four-horned antelope), chinkara (Indian gazelle), barking deer, small Indian civet, and porcupine. It is also home to the migratory birds such as Malabar pied hornbill, Indian pitta and osprey.

From deer to wild boar to tigers, MP has a realm of wildlife. A tour of Madhya Pradesh's wilderness is a kind of never to miss opportunity. It is also interesting to know that the one of the best wildlife series on tigers so far, 'Tiger: Spy in the Jungle' is also filmed in Pench National Park. The series was shot with the use of 'trunk cams'; the cameras held by elephants' trunks, to follow four newborn tiger cubs all the way to adulthood.

Things to do in Pench

The major attractions of the Pench Tiger Reserves are jungle walks and jungle safari. You can book your slot for safari by visiting https://forest.mponline.gov.in

People also explore short treks and wildlife viewing in the presence of trained guides and guards. It is a good way to burn calories along with capturing some spectacular wildlife shots to draw an interesting Instagram feed.

Photographers also visit the reserve with their big zoom lenses to enjoy bird watching and wildlife photography. Who knows? You can try your luck capturing the endangered species of vultures at Sita Ghat or Raiyakassa and elusive leopards at Piyorthadi looking for food and water.

Tourists can also experience the rural lifestyle while staying among Gond families at Khamba Village and create one of its kind memories.

You can also try your hands at the potter wheel making some black earthen pots at the potter's colony which is well-known for black pottery. The Potter colony in Pachdhar village is 10 km from Turia gate. It is a delight to make a souvenir by yourself to remember your visit to Pench. 

Watching tigers, birds and several other animals strolling in the woods during the day or night jungle safari or visiting the Kariya Summit hill (popularly known as Kalia hill) at Pench Tiger Reserve will bring back the thrill you used to have while watching Mowgli battle Sher Khan.

Best time to visit Pench National Park

October to February can be considered the best time to visit Pench when the weather is pleasant and the jungle looks lush. However, November to March could be the best months for bird watching when birds come to central India from colder areas to spend winter. You should avoid Monsoon season if you are looking forward to jungle safari as it is kept closed for the safety of both tourists and animals.

How to reach Pench National Park

By air:  Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar International Airport in Nagpur and Jabalpur Airport are the two best options for travel if you decide to take a flight to Pench. Jabalpur airport is situated at approximately 213 kilometres away and can only be utilised by domestic flyers, the Nagpur Airport is situated at a distance of about 130 km and is seen to be an easy method to get if travellers are arriving from both domestic and international destinations. Taxis are fairly accessible from both airports and make for a nice ride to Pench.

By rail: Nagpur railway station is the closest railhead from Pench with good connectivity, and it is situated approximately 130 kilometres away. Another option is the Jabalpur railway station located at a distance of 210 kilometres. Both www.irctc.co.in and www.indianrail.gov.in allow for online details checking and train booking.

By road:  The Nagpur-Jabalpur Highway can lead you to Pench Tiger Reserve. From Jabalpur or Nagpur, you can travel by road and it takes approx. three to four hours to get to Pench. Khawasa or Seoni are the closest bus stops to Pench, and hourly buses run from Nagpur.

Isn't it true that you're looking for the Best Time to visit Pench National Park? So, to avoid your trip being ruined by the climate, these are the best typical season to visit and enjoy your vacation.

Summer season (March, April, May, June ]

Summer months are known for their extreme heat, which can make it extremely difficult for visitors to fully appreciate the animals. Despite the heat, a huge number of wildlife enthusiasts continue to visit the park at this time.

Winter season (November, December, January, February)

Pench National Park is best enjoyed in the wintertime because of the glorious sunshine. During this season, the park has a pleasant temperature, allowing visitors to enjoy the area without becoming exhausted from the scorching heat.

Monsoon season (July, August, September)

Monsoon received a significant quantity of rainfall in the region, making it unfavorable to visit Pench National Park. Because monsoon is wild animal breeding season, the park remains closed until mid-October.

The vast Pench National Park is stunning all year, but between November and June, when sightings of diverse animals and birds are most common, it is especially beautiful.

Because animals migrate out in search of water more frequently throughout the months of April-May-June, summers are the greatest time to visit if you're interested in seeing wildlife.

The weather is beautiful, however, the nights in January and February can be a little chilly. From October to June, certain areas of the park are exclusively open to tourists.

Pench Tiger Safari Timing

Pench National Park's safari schedule varies with the seasons. It is crucial to note, however, that the park is closed to guests during the monsoon period because it is a breeding season for animals in the wild. 

As a result, the park operates from October 16 to June 30 as a tourist attraction. Early morning jeep safaris are available at Pench National Park from 7:30 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. from November until February. The evening safari, on the other hand, begins at 3:00 PM and seems to last until 5:30 PM. The safari scheduling changes throughout the summertime, from March to June, and is planned from 6:30 a.m. to 9:30 a.m. for the morning batch and 4:00 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. for the evening batch.

Pench National Park, one of India's top jungle safari destinations, knows how to provide visitors with the best wildlife encounters. The park, which is graciously shared by Maharashtra and Madhya Pradesh, has a morning and evening safari schedule that is different for both states and is established by the higher authorities of Pench National Park.

Pench Safari Zones

Turia, Karmajhiri, Jamtara, Rukhad, Wolf Sanctuary, Sillari, and Khursapar are the seven zones that makeup Pench National Park. Turia is thought to be the best place in the world to see a tiger. Because the Pench National Park Zone includes so many water sources, the odds of seeing wild animals around these waterways are higher than in other zones. Wolf Sanctuary, on the other hand, is the ideal zone for a night safari to explore the Pench National Park. In this division, the government has permitted night safari.

The stunning wildlife safari in Pench National Park seems to be missing from the Pench Jungle excursion. The sighting of animals and birds in their natural habitat, which becomes an unforgettable experience for a lifetime, is what makes your vacation to the Pench National Park so special.

Pench national park, which is near Madhya Pradesh and Maharashtra, is divided into seven safari zones that are separated by around 2 to 80 kilometers. Turia Zone, Karmajhiri Zone, Wolf Sanctuary, Rukhad Zone, Jamtara Zone, Teliya Zone are located in Madhya Pradesh, whilst Khursapar Zone and Sillari Zone are located in Maharashtra.

Best Time to Visit

Exploring pench in summer.

Tourists can visit Pench National Park during the summer between March to June. These months are termed as the best for watching tigers. Moreover, the park remains less crowded during these months, and the tigers are seen strolling around the water areas. However, the temperature can rise to 45 degrees Celcius.

Exploring Pench in Monsoon

The monsoon season might not promise you pleasant weather from July to September as it is the wettest time of the year. Even though the roads can be quite muddy, you can still see animals around. Most wild animals are active this season, as you will spot them roaming around the lush greeneries of the vegetation.

Exploring Pench in Winter

The best time to visit Pench National Park is during winter, from November to February. You will experience pleasant weather with temperatures ranging between 10 degrees Celcius to 28 degrees Celcius. This is the ideal time to watch migratory birds from your naked eye. Also, since the vegetation is thinner, it is easier to spot animals.

A couple of weeks ago, I came back from the Pench National Park – one of the best trips of my life. Spending time at the Pench Tiger Reserve instilled a renewed sense of calm within me. To spend time away from mobile phones and the many screens that have taken up our personal space and to experience nature and the jungle life in its raw, unperturbed form was truly humbling.

But, after my safaris, whenever I would share my Pench National Park photos on various social media platforms, the one question that I used to get from a number of people was ‘how did you plan the Pench National Trip?’

So in this post, I will give you a complete lowdown on planning a trip to the Pench National Park. A trip to the Pench National Park can be undertaken from Nagpur. You need to book your stay near one of the gates of the Pench Tiger Reserve. You should also book your safaris and apply for the required permits, well in advance, to be allowed entry inside the Tiger Reserve.

In this detailed guide, I will give you all the information you need to plan a trip to the Pench National Park. I will include details on where to stay, how to reach Pench National Park, Pench Safari booking and plenty of useful tips based on my recent first-hand experience of Pench.

So are you ready? Grab a large mug of coffee or a tub of popcorn or just a big bottle of water (if you suck at hydrating yourself), brace yourself for a long read because this one article is all you need to plan the perfect Pench Tiger Reserve trip.

Basic Information about the Pench National Park

Where is pench national park pench national park is located in which state.

Pench National Park is located in the state of Madhya Pradesh, close to the Maharashtra border. It is a part of the Seoni district and lies in the southern region of the Satpura hill range.

Honest confession: Until very recently, I used to think that Pench is in Maharashtra. But you could simply blame it on its proximity to Nagpur. And that brings me to my next piece of key information.

How to reach Pench National Park?

Nagpur is the closest major city to Pench National Park. Distance from Nagpur to Pench National Park is approximately 80 kilometres. Most major towns and cities in India are connected to Nagpur by air or train.

Travelling from Nagpur to Pench National Park is pretty straightforward. You can easily get a bus or a private car from Nagpur train station or Nagpur airport to go to Pench.

Most tour operators that offer Pench Safari package provide ex Nagpur services and arrange a pick-up and drop for you from Nagpur railway station or airport.

How many days do you need in Pench?

If you want to head out on the recommended minimum of 4 safaris while in Pench, you must stay in Pench for at least 3 nights and 4 days.

Who should visit Pench? What facilities are available at Pench?

Pench is a great travel destination for wildlife lovers as well as nature lovers. A trip to Pench provides a much-needed break to corporate employees, hardworking professionals, stressed students or overworked parents. It transports you right into the heart of a dense natural jungle where the selfish laws of the concrete jungle have no room.

Thus, essentially, Pench is a great tourist destination for all types of travellers. You can even take your babies and kids along with you if you are confident of preparing them well for the trip. Screaming and shouting can attract danger and disturb the wildlife.

The Pench National Park jeep safari takes you through rough forest roads and is usually not a comfortable journey. Hence pregnant women and those with a severe health condition should avoid visiting Pench. If you have back problems, you should carry enough back support to avoid aggravating your pain.

The facilities available inside the Pench National Park vary greatly based on which state you are in. The part of the Pench Tiger Reserve that lies in Madhya Pradesh is extremely well-maintained. There are plenty of clean toilets inside the designated waiting area of the jungle.

The forest staff takes abundant care to ensure strict compliance with the forest laws. This guarantees a blissful forest experience to the tourists that visit Pench Tiger Reserve.

However, the same can’t be said about the Pench national park area that lies inside Maharashtra. There are fewer toilets on the Maharashtra side, and hardly any are properly maintained. The jungle, too, does not feel as properly looked after as the one in Madhya Pradesh.

What is the best time to visit Pench National Park?

If you plan to visit Pench to see animals, particularly tigers, then the best time to visit Pench is during summer, i.e. between March and May, as animals often visit water bodies to drink water. However, if you want to enjoy pleasant weather, a cool breeze while observing nature and animal life inside the jungle, visiting Pench during the winter, i.e. between November and February, would be ideal.

In case you are planning to visit Pench during summer, please note that the temperatures can soar beyond 40°C, and you must carry enough fluids with you to stay hydrated. Wearing a cap is also non-negotiable.

How much does it cost to visit Pench National Park?

A visit to the Pench National Park will cost around INR 10,000-12,000 per person for 3 nights 4 days, assuming you book four safaris in the core area and stay in a good resort. The Pench national park safari price is approximately INR 1500 per person (inclusive of guide and vehicle charges), and accommodation (inclusive of all meals) in a good resort should cost you around INR 4,000 per night.

How to book a safari at Pench National Park?

A safari at the tiger reserve can be booked on the official website of the Forest Department of Madhya Pradesh. The process of Pench tiger reserve booking on this website is as follows:

• Register yourself. Validate mobile number and email by OTPs.
• Add your bank account details
• Head to the ‘book safari’ section. 
• Select whether you want to book ‘full vehicle’ or ‘single seat’. Select the desired date and hit the search button. 
• Now you will see a screen with the number of available permits per gate and session displayed on the screen. 
• Select the desired gate and session and submit. 
• Now a tourist information page will open up where you will need to insert the details of all the tourists.

Important Tip: Make sure you do not make any errors in this form. The ID Type that you select here must be carried along with you at the time of safari. You will be denied entry if you do not carry the original ID proof or if there is any mismatch in the details entered at the time of booking and those specified on your ID proof. 

Save the permit confirmation copy and carry it along with you at all times. 

Repeat the Pench National Park online booking process for each safari that you intend to book. 

Similarly, if you wish to book safaris from a gate to the Pench Tiger Reserve in Maharashtra, you can visit the official Maharashtra Eco Tourism website and follow a process similar to the one specified above.

Now, if you find the interface confusing or need more guidance on Pench National Park safari bookings, you can book safaris through an agent and book a hotel on your own. Alternatively, you can book the hotel and ask the hotel to help you book safaris. Booking through an agent or hotel will involve paying additional charges.

It is best to book a Pench tiger safari yourself from the official MP forest government website. If you change your mind about the date, time or gate, you can also cancel the permit (i.e. safari booking) and rebook.

It is most important to note that only limited permits are issued per session, and hence booking the safaris about 30-40 days in advance is recommended. A facility to book Tatkal (last-minute) tickets is available on the website. But the chances of getting a permit are extremely low.

In addition to this, here are some more insightful tips on Pench National Park safari booking:

1. Safaris are undertaken in two sessions: morning and evening. Morning safaris tend to be for a longer period of time. Evening safari ride ends at sunset and hence is usually shorter, especially during winters.

2. Never book a permit that is not confirmed, i.e. one that is waitlisted. Waitlisted bookings rarely get confirmed.

3. Tatkal or last-minute booking is also available on the website. This booking is only available 1-2 sessions in advance, and the chances of getting a confirmed booking are slim. Do not rely on this booking method.

4. There is a limit on the number of permits issued per day. It is best to book your permits 30-40 days in advance to avoid disappointment.

5. The permit fee payable online does not include vehicle and guide charges. The rates (December 2021) for vehicles and guides are displayed below. They need to be paid at the time of entering the gates.

6. Safaris can get cancelled on account of climate conditions, conflicts in guide or driver unions, animals’ health, etc. It is best to be prepared for such disappointments.

General guidelines for visiting the Pench National Park

1. Have all your main meals at the resort.

2. For safaris, pack light snacks. If you stay at a resort such as Tiger N Woods, the resort will pack a lovely picnic bag for you with snacks and a thermos.

3. Toilets are only available at designated halt areas. In the core areas of the jungle, there are absolutely no toilets. Make sure you limit your intake of fluids right before your safari. Visit a loo whenever you stop near one.

4. Tourists are absolutely prohibited from stepping outside the car while on the safari (except in designated areas) as it can prove to be extremely dangerous.

5. Avoid wearing bright colours. Stick to natural forest shades like green and brown.

6. Do not wear perfumes as the fragrance can attract wild animals.

7. Don’t forget to carry a cap or a hat and sunglasses.

8. In case you forget to carry water or other essentials, buy those at the entrance gate. Water bottles, jackets, binoculars and other safari essentials are sold at all the entrance gates of the tiger reserve.

9. Don’t travel only to see tigers. A safari offers a rare opportunity to observe many animals and birds in their natural habitat. You get a chance to learn about animal calls. You get to study the rules of the jungle. And above and beyond everything, you get to be a part of a world that’s completely raw and free of human intervention. Try to make the most of this experience instead of just focusing on tiger sightings!
