Winning the national award for the best-maintained tourist-friendly national park in 2007-08, Pench Tiger Reserve comprises the Indira Priyadarshini Pench National Park, the Mowgli Pench Sanctuary and a buffer. Pech National Park boasts of the highest density of herbivores in India (90.3 animals per sq km).

The Park is located in the Satpura ranges of Central India. The river Pench, which runs through the Park, is its lifeline. A few perennial springs also exist. Recently a number of earthen ponds and shallow wells have been developed leading to well distributed sources of water all around the reserve.

The Land of Rudyard Kipling’s Jungle Book, the terrain of Pench Tiger Reserve is undulating with gentle flat-topped slopes that offer fine vistas of the forests around. The best known of these is 'Kalapahar' at an altitude of 650 mts.

The undulating topography supports a mosaic of vegetation ranging from moist, sheltered valleys to open, dry deciduous forest. Over 1200 species of plants have been recorded from the area including several rare and endangered plants as well as plants of ethno-botanical importance. The high habitat heterogeneity favours a high population of Chital and Sambar.

The area is especially famous for large herds of Gaur (Indian Bison), Cheetal, Sambar, Nilgai, Wild Dog and Wild Pig. Predators include the Tiger followed by the Leopard, Wild Dog and Wolf. The Park is also the habitat of the Sloth Bear, Chousingha, Chinkara, Barking Deer, Jackal, Fox, Palm Civet, Small Indian Civet, Jungle Cat, Hyena, Porcupine, etc....

There are over 285 species of resident and migratory birds including the Malabar Pied Hornbill, Indian Pitta, Osprey, Grey-headed Fishing Eagle, White-eyed Buzzard, etc. In winter thousands of migratory waterfowl including Brahmini Duck, Pochards, Barheaded Geese, Coots, etc., crowd the tanks and the reservoir within the Park. Four species of the now endangered Vultures - white-rumped, longbilled, white scavenger and king vulture - exist in good number. Other fauna include 50 species of fishes, 10 amphibians, 30 reptiles, 45 butterflies, 54 moths and numerous insects.(T.I.O)
