Rudyard Kipling set the cherished story of The Jungle Book in Pench National Park and its lavishly leafy surrounds. With real-life Shere Khans stalking through the thick arjuna trees and banyan roots, and a circus of chittering monkeys, yukking hyenas, slinky leopards and flocks of exotic birds, it’s an imagination-sparking spot. Set below the forest-clad Satpura range, south of Madhya Pradesh, the park is famed for its rewarding game drives, river rafting and its tiger conservation efforts. With just a few small villages within the park and beyond its borders, there’s little to do, but watch animal antics and while the days away in the wild.
