Pench National Park – Madhya Pradesh
23rd January (Thurs) – 26th January (Sun)
The best way to unplug from the continually demanding world and life is to walk down a forest. Once you get disconnected from the noise outside, you would automatically find your way back to the peaceful and blissful realm.
Finding such rarity and planning a trip could be tiring. But don’t worry, we have got your back.
One such marvel of nature is Pench national park in the heartland of India. Spread into two districts of Madhya Pradesh that is Seoni and Chhindwara; it got its name from the Pench river, which glides through it.
Now, if it hasn’t occurred to you yet, this is the same forest which has its mention in the famous story collection of writer Rudyard Kipling’s “The jungle book,” written in 1894.
Every year, wildlife enthusiasts muster up here to spot the famous characters of “the jungle book,” Akela(The Indian Wolf), Raksha (The Female Wolf), Baloo(Sloth Bear), and the vicious Sher khan(Royal Bengal Tiger).
