“Where the Jungle Breathes… and You Finally Exhale.“
Welcome to Pench National Park, a mystical jungle that doesn’t just roar — it whispers, guides, and awakens.
Spread across the foothills of the Satpura Range between Madhya Pradesh and Maharashtra, Pench is one of India’s richest biodiversity hotspots. It is also the original forest that inspired Rudyard Kipling’s The Jungle Book — a place where the stories of Mowgli, Bagheera, Baloo, and Shere Khan come alive in the rustling leaves and golden light.
The Story of Mowgli — Born in Pench
Over a century ago, British writer Robert Armitage Sterndale documented the tale of a feral child raised by wolves in the Indian jungle. This story inspired Rudyard Kipling’s The Jungle Book — and the legend of Mowgli was born.
But beyond the fiction lies a deeper truth:
The spirit of Mowgli still lives here — in every rustle of teak leaves, in every tiger’s gaze, in every tribal heartbeat.
Your Story Begins Here – With Tisha Tiger Trails
At Tisha Tiger Trails, we don’t just organize safaris. We invite you into a story — one where you are not a tourist, but a wanderer, listener, and keeper of nature’s silence.
Our founder, raised in the tribal belt of Madhya Pradesh, says:
“This jungle raised me too. It taught me patience, rhythm, and courage. I created Tisha Tiger Trails to give that back — to people who want to feel the earth again.
Why Choose Pench?
With frequent tiger sightings—especially in the Turia and Karmajhiri zones—this is the original Jungle Book forest brought to life. Eco-tourism friendly and blissfully free from heavy crowds, it offers a peaceful escape into nature. The park is home to leopards, sloth bears, wild dogs, and over 250 bird species, making it a haven for wildlife lovers. Adding to its charm is the authentic tribal culture of the Baiga and Gond communities, whose traditions enrich the region’s heritage. Stunning sal and teak forest trails complete the experience, offering endless opportunities for photography and birding.
