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.

Anosh Koppiker on the Spirit of Pench Jungle Safari

What was once a mere corridor between the towering sal forests of Kanha and the dry bamboo belts of Vidarbha has today become a thriving ecosystem. Pench has carved an identity of its own—with prey and predator densities that rival, and sometimes surpass, its more famous neighbors. This is the forest that gave me my first-ever photo of a charging tiger—an adrenaline rush I will never forget. If you're looking for action and surprise, Pench delivers.
