Popular Tiger Reserves

Although tigers can be found in parks and reserves around the world, the places best known for keeping them are those that are situated within the natural habitat of the tiger. Therefore, tiger enthusiasts are urged to visit India’s parks for rewarding tiger viewing experiences. India is home to 37 tiger sanctuaries. However, as the population numbers of the tiger dwindle, almost 20 of these sanctuaries find themselves in dire need of protecting their last remaining tigers, or must otherwise face the threat of shutting down.
These are just a few of India’s finest tiger parks:

Pench Tiger Reserve, Madhya Pradesh, India
This tiger reserve has been the 19th Project Tiger Reserve under Project Tiger since 1992, and extends over the areas of Seoni and Chhindwara. The dry deciduous forest that makes up much of this landscape, combined with tropical moist deciduous forest and dry mixed deciduous forest, is the ideal habitat for an impressive variety of wildlife, including fascinating birds and even insects. However, it is the tiger that draws thousands of people every year.

Pench Tiger Reserve has a total area of 758 square kilometres, of which 299 square kilometres is the main park, while the remaining area is a buffer region. 

 

Other popular animals in the Pench Tiger Reserve include: chital, sambhar, nilgai, wild boar, jackal, leopard, sloth bear, wild dog, porcupine, gaur, chowsingha, barking deer, peafowl, crimson-breasted barbet, racket-tailed drongo, lesser whistling teal, and herons.
In February 2011, Pench won a Tiger Park Award for being the best administered park in India.
