Nestled in the Satpuda hills, Pench National Park, named after the Pench River, is famed as the birthplace of "The Jungle Book." The park's terrain, featuring hills and teak forests, is a haven for wildlife like gaur, chital, and sambar. Its landscape blends open canopies, mixed forests, and grassy patches, transitioning from moist valleys to dry forests. Pench boasts a high concentration of herbivores, surpassing even Kanha's . Predators like tigers, leopards, wild dogs, and jackals thrive here, along other species like nilgai, wild boar, sloth bear, chousingha, chinkara, muntjac, civets, and jungle cats.
