Though the park is mostly famous for its Tigers, its diverse cartography has made it the breeding ground of an exclusive mélange of flora and fauna, which form an important unit of its rich ecosystem. With over 210 different species of birds and a redundant list of animals and reptiles on its catalogue, Pench Wildlife Sanctuary is the top haunt for wildlife enthusiasts and photographers from world over.
Covering a sweeping area of 758 km of uncharted land, out of which 299 sq km of the core area forms the National Park and 464 km comprises the buffer area, Pench Wildlife Sanctuary was the 19th Tiger Reserve. Apart from being the home to this fierce yet endangered predator, the park has a high density of:
| Chitaln |
Gaur |
Muntjac |
Leopards |
| Nilgai |
Wild pig |
Langurs |
| Four Horned Antelopes |
Rhesus monkeys |
Latest Surveys conducted have determined the number of Tigers in Pench National Park to be around 50 and Leopards to be around 30. While at Pench the tourist need quite some luck to be able to sight these ferocious beasts as they are shy of human presence and mostly come out on roads or near water pools to beat the summer heat.
The rich avian population at the Pench National Park both migratory and indigenous is any bird watcher’s delight.
