Welcome to Mowgli's Land
Spread across the Seoni and Chhindwara districts of Madhya Pradesh, Pench National Park is famously known as the setting for Rudyard Kipling's "The Jungle Book". Named after the Pench River that flows through it, this park is a stunning landscape of teak forests, open meadows, and rocky terrains.
Pench is renowned for its high herbivore population and healthy density of Royal Bengal Tigers. It gained global fame through the legendary tigress 'Collarwali'.
