Day-by-Day Travel Plan
There is something rather special about a trip that lets you track a tiger's pugmarks one morning and climb a sacred hill temple the next. This Pench Tiger Reserve Tour Package blends the wild heart of Central India with the quiet spirituality of the Satpura hills. Six days, five nights, and honestly, more variety than most people expect from a single trip.
Day 1: Nagpur Arrival – Pench Tiger Reserve
The journey begins the moment you land. Guests are picked up from Nagpur Airport or Railway Station and driven straight into the wilderness, a scenic route that eases you out of city noise and into forest air.
- Check-in at the wildlife resort on arrival.
- Evening left open for a nature walk, followed by a bonfire (seasonal, weather permitting).
- Overnight stay at Pench.
Day 2: Pench Wildlife Safari
This is the day most travellers book the trip for. An early morning Pench Tiger Safari takes you deep into Pench National Park, one of Central India's richest wildlife habitats.
- Chance to spot tigers, leopards, wild dogs, deer, gaur, and sloth bears.
- Over 250 species of birds recorded within the reserve, a genuine treat for birdwatchers.
- Rest of the day at leisure at the resort.
- Optional evening village visit or a gentle nature trail for those who want more.
- Overnight stay at Pench.
Day 3: Pench to Pachmarhi Hill Station
After breakfast the thick forest gives way to open hills as you move towards Pachmarhi, fondly called the "Queen of Satpura".
- Visit Bee Falls, a cascading waterfall tucked away within the hillside.
- Stop at Priyadarshini View Point for panoramic views of the valley.
- Come to Pandav Caves, ancient rock-cut shelters that have a silent, timeless charm.
- Evening free to wander through the local market in Pachmarhi.
- Pachmarhi on a night basis.
Day 4: Trek to Chauragarh Temple and sightseeing at Pachmarhi
You need good shoes and an early start today. The trek to Chauragarh Temple can be steep in places, but the panoramic views are worth every step.
- Early morning we trek to the sacred Chauragarh Temple, high up in the Satpura range.
- Visit the Jatashankar Cave Temple, a holy place within the rocks.
- Mahadev Cave and Handi Khoh are worth a visit for the dramatic natural scenery.
