Pench
Tiger Safaris · A Quieter Central India Reserve
PenchPench straddles the Madhya Pradesh–Maharashtra border and is noticeably quieter than Ranthambore or Bandhavgarh, with teak and mixed forest habitat and consistently good sightings of deer, sloth bear and birdlife alongside its tigers.
It's a good choice for travellers who've done one of the more famous reserves already and want a less crowded, equally rewarding alternative.
October to June, when the park is open.
Best reached via Nagpur airport, followed by a road transfer; often paired with Tadoba for a Maharashtra-focused circuit.
