Pench National Park Holidays

There’s abundant wildlife in Pench National Park. Of course, being a tiger reserve, Bengal tigers are the star attractions, but there are other incredible animals such as leopard, jackal and wild dog. During mornng and afternoon safaris you will be driving through the park in an open-top 4x4. You can also do a night-time safari in the park’s periphery buffer zone, also known as the ‘wolf safari,’ due to the amount of wolf sightings.

During the summer you can see a multitude of creatures congregating around the water sources. If you go to the backwaters during this time, you’ll see hundreds of deer at the edges of the riverbanks.
