About Pench National Park

The park is located in Seoni and Chhindwara districts of Madhya Pradesh State close to Maharashtra's northern border. The area got the status as National Park in the year 1983.

The park is a major Tiger reserve area. Apart from Tiger, other animals that can be spotted in Pench National park are sloth bear, leopard, wild dog, wild gaurs,  fox, striped hyena Cheetal, Sambar, nilgai etc. Bird watchers can see nearly 200 species of birds including few migratory birds such as minivets orioles, waterfowls, wagtails, barbets, munias, mynas, and blue kingfishers.
