About Pench National
Park
Pench National Park,
nestling in the lower southern reaches of the Satpura
hills is named after Pench river which flows from north to
south through the Pench National Park. It is located on
the southern boundary of Madhya Pradesh. Recently in 1992,
Pench has been included under the umbrella of "Project
Tiger" as the 19th Project Tiger Reserve.
A total of 758 Sq. kms of this Southern Indian tropical
moist deciduous forest has its extent mingling with the
tropical dry deciduous teak. The area is crisscrossed by a
number of streams and 'nallahs' most of which are
seasonal. Though the Pench River dries up in April end, a
number of water pools locally known as 'dohs' are found
which serve as water holes for the wild animals. However,
the water sources are not suitably distributed, hence
large area is left unutilized by the wild animals. The
Pench Reservoir at the center of the park is the only
major water source during the pinch period.
