Opis
Pench National Park is a wildlife reserve located in central India, spanning the states of Madhya Pradesh and Maharashtra and covering an area of approximately 292 square kilometers. The National Park gets its name from the Pench River that flows through the park, nurturing its diverse ecosystems. The park is known for its rich biodiversity, hosting tigers, leopards, wild dogs, sloth bears, sambar deer, and chital. The park’s diverse landscape of teak forests, open grasslands, and the Pench River creates a rich habitat for a variety of avian life, including rare vultures and vibrant forest dwellers.
Top Birding Spots:
Pench River Banks & Sitaghat (1): The rocky banks and flowing water attract a high density of aquatic birds such as Little Ringed Plover, Oriental Darters, Indian Spot-billed Ducks, and the rare River Lapwing.
Bodhanala Lake (2): A hotspot for forest birds and raptors due to its dense foliage and reliable water source.
Alikatta Grasslands (3): Renowned for sightings of vultures and large numbers of waterfowl and wading birds.
Runijhuni Nature Trail (4): A 3 km walking trail near Karmajhiri Gate where birders can spot smaller species like Warblers and Prinias.
Kohka Lake (5): Located just outside the park, this is an excellent spot for watching Osprey and Grey-headed Fish-Eagle.

Specialized birding walks and tours are offered by local lodges such as Pench Tree Lodge (over 100 species on-site) and Pench Jungle Camp.
