Pench Safari Experience Unique Wilderness

That Central India home of Mowgli the wolf child is now Pench Tiger Reserve and a National Park. It is here that escapades took place and the description in the Jungle Book is vivid and esoteric, which can only emanate from a creative literary mind like that of Kipling. Although said to be a believer of white superiority, yet India has honored him with a museum in his memory.

The Seooni Hills (SEONI) are now encapsulated in the tiger reserve and conserved with Sher Khan in focus. Mowgli now lives in the quaint hamlets surrounding the wilderness, and you can come across a thousand such children, although the hero is no more. The book also refers to a time whence wildlife pervaded humanity and was well entrenched near its habitations.

Seoni is a small town in Madhya Pradesh or Central India and is on the way to the park. The forests are all over the surroundings, and frequent wildlife sightings outside the park is quite common.

This is true in the case of Pench National Park as of date, thanks to conservation efforts. It has become a tourist hotspot that attracts crowds from all over the World. A recent sighting of a black panther has become the talk of the wilderness, and tourists are excited about prospects an encounter with the legendary Baghiraaaaa!

Well, conserved and protected, the park is most preferred for tiger safari in India. It is home to many wild animals that depend upon the forests and river Pench for survival in a human-infested World. Sher Khan is the most sought-after animal besides Bagheera, Baloo, Kaa, bunder log, akela, and so many others.

The tiger reserve is the best place to see the big cats in the wild apart from antelopes like Nilgai and Chinkara. The massive ox or bison numbers in hundreds while the deer species sambar, chital and bhasa abound. Langurs and peacocks in herds of chital are a common sight. Sometimes, the presence of wild boars becomes obvious by the gutturals. Wolf is a rare sight, and you can see it on night drives or on a visit to the buffer or outside ring of the jungles.
