Fun Things to Do in Pench
The first thing that comes to your mind when you think of Pench is wildlife-and rightly so. But, there's a lot more to do than just spotting for the untamed. The Pench National Park is blessed with incredible biodiversity, and you definitely will remember your safari experience once you visit this park. Home to tigers, leopards, wild dogs, and so much more, you can take a thrilling jeep safari or plan something by embarking on guided nature walks by experts from the park. Pench's trails await you to explore along the beaten tracks. Nature walks enable you to view the flora, fauna, and birdlife of the region at a slower and far more intimate pace. For those who still think the thrill of wildlife isn't enough, Pench is perhaps one of the few places in India which offers night safaris in its buffer zone, under the stars, giving you the rare opportunity to observe the nocturnal creatures. Pench is also home to many tribal communities. Spend a day exploring a local village, where you'll learn about the indigenous Gond and Baiga tribes, their customs, crafts, and way of living.

Must-Visit Sites in Pench
While the national park is the primary attraction in Pench, there are several panoramic and culturally immersive sites around it worth visiting. Just outside Pench National Park lies the Totladoh Dam, a peaceful spot set amidst lush greenery. It's a great picnic spot if you want to spend the evening after an early morning safari. A short drive from Pench, Pachdhaar Pottery Village is where creativity meets clay. Artisans at work may be seen on the potter's wheel. 

Lesser Known Festivals in Pench
Pench and its surrounding areas have a rich cultural heritage. Festivals here come out as a kaleidoscope of tradition, colours, and celebration. Karma Festival is enacted among the locals by the Gond tribe; it is a festival to celebrate nature's bounty as well as to pay tribute to the Karam tree, which happens to be sacred to this tribe. Another very prominent tribal festival in the region is the Madai Festival, enacted by the Gond and Baiga tribes.

Cuisine in Pench
There are many places within Pench which have locally inspired food prepared with seasonal and regional ingredients. Tribal recipes often have jungle produce: from wild greens to freshly caught fish. As you are here, you must try the local favourites of Madhya Pradesh. Breakfast favourites like Bhutte Ka Kees and Poha are quite popular. Of course, you'll love spicy curries and stuffed parathas as well, served with meals, full of the region's signature flavours. And then there is mahua, a traditional tribal drink made from the flowers of the Mahua tree. Try the drink if you're an adventurous soul.
