Pench National Park

Understand

Pench National Park spans 758 km². The park has various species of animals, among which the deer, wild gaurs, and monkeys are easy to spot. The tigers and the lions are difficult to watch as they do not come on the safari trail often. This forest inspired Rudyard Kipling to write the famous novel The Jungle Book.

Buy

Outside the park, you will see people selling wildlife postcards. You can also spot some people selling musk. They start with a heavy rate, but eventually come down. Authenticity may be dubious, and to convince you, they'll perform some tricks. Don't fall for that.

Eat

Outside the national park, you will find a lot of dhabas where you can sit for a snack or for lunch. The food you will eat at these locations will be delicious and you will never believe the low rates. Always try going for the simplest food as possible. They do not have a long menu, but whatever they make is worth eating.
