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.’<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

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

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.<\/p>

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.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Best time to visit Pench National Park<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

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.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
