Pench National Park is not like the others. This teak forest, which can be found in the AVSM belt (which encompasses the Aravali, Vindhyanchal, Satpura, and Maikal Ranges), is an interesting alternative and a welcome change from the typical and picturesque parks of Kanha and Bandhavgarh. When compared to Kanha and Bandhavgarh, the tracks here are easier to navigate, the trees are denser, and there is more dense undergrowth. This could be one of the reasons why the herbivore population here is far bigger. This location is notable for its lack of sound. You begin to believe that you are the King when all of a sudden, your driver stops after noticing the pugmarks left by the real King of the area. He displays them to you, and then all of a sudden you hear an alarm call coming from one of the inhabitants of the jungle. A tiger has just crossed. You, your driver, your naturalist are all awake. Looking in the direction that the call was coming from, her eyes were much larger than normal, and her heart was beating at a rate of 120 beats per minute. You want to see the real King of Pench, the one with ears as enormous as an elephant's, don't you? As the story progresses, you realise that you are in Pench, the genuine and authentic Kipling Country.
