Accommodation in Pench
"Without knowing it, we utilize hundreds of products each day that owe their
origin to wild animals and plants. Indeed our welfare is intimately tied up
with the welfare of wildlife. Well may conservationists proclaim that by saving
the lives of wild species, we may be saving our own."
- Norman Myers, A Wealth of Wild Species, 1983
So right is Norman Myers when he put forth this quote. Only when there is complete
devastation we humans realize the value of wildlife and the advantages it has
on human life. To fulfill this mission of conserving wildlife and the creatures
of Mother Nature, there are national parks and conservationists making all efforts
to save the precious wilderness.
This is considered to be heaven for all the animal lovers. Amidst this wilderness
there are camps that accommodate the visitors to this national park. The Pench
Jungle Camp is a good place to stay and provides canvas tents One would find
all the facilities in the camp. It is the right place for all the bird lovers,
as it has more than 270 species of birds that can be spotted.
When it comes to the food that you are served, you can expect the best. There
is variety and the mouth-watering dishes only make you desire for more.

minutes away from the entrance of the Pench National Park. Well-appointed cottages,

managed, good food, good naturalits, good vehicles, well, there isn’t anything
more any other Jungle Lodge can give you. Undoubetedly the best place in Pench

Connectivity
The nearest railhead is Seoni, which is only 30 kms away from Pench National
Park. Nagpur is only 92 kms and a two-hour drive from Pench. Nagpur is very
well connected and one can reach Nagpur either by air or train from Delhi, Mumbai
and other places in India. Pench is 190 kms from Jabalpur station.
If you want to catch sight of tigers and other wildlife that you have planned
for, then make your visit to the park during the summer months, as this is the
time the animals come out in search of waterholes. Winters months maybe may
seem like the most appropriate time but it is very difficult to view much wildlife
during this season. The Pench National Park is open to visitors from early November
to end June each year and closed during the rainy season (July- October).
"Once you have heard the lark, known the swish of feet through hill-top grass
and smelt the earth made ready for the seed, you are never again going to be
fully happy about the cities and towns that man carries like a crippling weight
upon his back."
- Gwyn Thomas
Like Gywn Thomas says one can never be happy in those cities after seeing the
beauty of wildlife. So to be happy one needs to discover the beauty we welcome
you to this beautiful world of creatures.
