There’s something intrinsically thrilling about off-roading in the jungle during the monsoon — the petrichor, the never-ending thickets of foliage and the symphony of the wild. Pench National Park in Madhya Pradesh is teeming with greenery at every nook, courtesy the intermittent rain, and the occasional sun presents a surreal dimension to the forestry.

How to get there

Pench National Park’s nearest town is Nagpur. While those from Bengaluru, Mumbai and Delhi can reach Nagpur airport through direct flights, those from Hyderabad can take the Nagpur-Secunderabad Express that offers a comfortable 10-hour overnight journey, followed by a 100-km drive along the expansive NH44. Pench National Park is located in the Seoni and Chhindwara districts of Madhya Pradesh.

What to do there

Safaris in the peak season are a must at the 1,179 sq-km Pench Tiger Reserve that is home to world-famous tigers such as BMW, Collared Tigress and many others. Pench is home to a huge biodiversity of birds and reptiles too.

Mingling with the welcoming tribal communities of Turiya, Teliya and Kohka includes opportunities to learn the original way of making pottery.

Astro-photography is a major pull for those looking to see the stars our city skies hide so well.
