About Pench Tourism
Located in the Seoni district of southern Madhya Pradesh, around 70 kms from Nagpur and lying on the border of Madhya Pradesh and Maharashtra, is Pench
National Park well known for its varied flora and fauna. This is a
tropical dry deciduous forest and it is home to the tiger, panther,
gaur, sambar, chital, barking deer, blue bull, macaque, langoor, wild
boar, bear, wild dogs and civet cat.
Sightseeing Highlights
The
main attraction is the park and its many features. One can take nature
walks or guided trips inside. Jeep safaris set off into the forest from
6 a.m. to 12 noon (carry a cap, coat and muffler in winter) and again
2.30 p.m. to 5.30 p.m. Of course the main excitement is geared around
sighting a tiger, but you will see many beautiful glimpses of deer,
langurs, peacocks, etc., which are equally enjoyable.
