In the Woodlands of Pench-Kipling's Jungle
Pench National Park, located in the southern reaches of Madhya Pradesh along the Maharashtra border, forms part of a larger protected landscape shaped by the Pench River. Spread across a gently undulating terrain, the park is known for its open forests and balanced ecology rather than vast size.
The landscape is dominated by teak and mixed deciduous forests, interspersed with grassy clearings and seasonal streams. The Pench River and its reservoirs serve as the park’s lifeline, sustaining wildlife through the drier months and lending the forest a steady, unhurried rhythm.
Pench supports a healthy population of tigers, alongside leopards, sloth bears, wild dogs, gaur, and a wide range of herbivores such as chital, sambar, nilgai, and wild boar. This diversity ensures a stable prey base and contributes to the park’s ecological resilience.
The park is also rich in birdlife, with numerous woodland and water-associated species found across its varied habitats. Open forests, flowing water, and seasonal grasslands together define Pench as a forest of quiet balance—approachable, enduring, and deeply rooted in central India’s natural heritage.

Namaskar, I am Dr Suneet Raut. Myself and my wife, Dr Sushila visited Kanha National park, last year, by April 2025. Our close friend, Dr Prakash Babu,called me whether we were interested doing this Safari trip. As we both are nature lovers, and having visited Tadoba and other sanctuaries,were delighted by this call. It was last week of April.We flew from Mumbai to Jabalpur,then to Kanha sanctuary. I must say,the total experience of those 4 days was WONDERFUL. The flights, transportation to and fro by road, the accommodation, food, overall comforts and personal attention and care of Curated Canopy Safaris was exceptional. One thing I would like to mention, that, Dr Prakash himself is a wildlife enthusiast, has a deep knowledge of birds and animals, has good knowledge of flora and fauna. His planning is meticulous and punctual. His venture CURATED CANOPY Safaris is dependable service. We both look forward to join his safaries in future also. -- Dr Suneet Raut, Palghar
