The jungles of Pench were the inspiration for Rudyard Kipling’s classic tale The Jungle Book that was set there. The river Pench running through the park, divides it into two almost equal quarters. The teak forests found here are home to numerous animals and birds, including the tiger and a large population of leopards. With fewer tourist numbers, it’s easy to fall in love with Pench and its quiet expanse. While exploring the forests it isn’t hard to imagine that Mowgli and his animal friends trekked through these very parts plotting their next move against Sher Khan. For die-hard Jungle Book fans, try and find all the places mentioned in the book.
