Black Leopard Safari Tour in Pench National Park
06 NIGHTS / 07 DAYS
One of India’s many national parks, Pench National Park is located in Madhya Pradesh’s southernmost region. 60% of the National Park’s trees are teak, with the remaining 40% being mixed forest, which includes Garadi, Palash Baheda, Saaj, Jamun, and many more. The National Park first came to public attention thanks to a Tigress named Collarwali, who currently holds the Guinness World Record for having given birth to the most cubs (29) in her lifetime. On January 15, 2022, she passed away at the age of 16 from old age.
One of the rarest melanistic leopards, Black Panther, has recently drawn attention to the park. A male leopard with a completely black appearance lived in the region in 2020, but he could not stay there for long. As a result, he was pushed out of the tourist area and went on to form his own territory.
land that is not in the tourist area. Since June 2022, a female wanders the Teliya and Khursapar region of Pench National Park with a dark appearance. Since a few months ago, there have been virtually daily sightings of the same.
The majority of the Mowgli characters, including the Black Panther as Bagheera, the Sloth Bear as Balu, the Tiger as Sher Khan, the Wolves as the Pack of Akela and Racksha, Kaa as an Indian Rock Python, and many other characters, are still present in this itinerary, which will take you to Mowgli Land. Therefore, let’s explore Mowgli Land.

Tigers occupy the pinnacle of the food chain and a healthy tiger population is an indicator of the well being of the whole forest. Throughout evolution, predators have had a regulatory influence on the population sizes of other species; it is thanks to carnivores, such as tigers, that the number of herbivores is kept in check. In turn, the populations can therefore only fluctuate between certain limits because of this “feedback mechanism”.
With the number of herbivores under control, but not depleted, the forest vegetation is likely to thrive provided humans do not over exploit it. Seeds will be dispersed by new growth will not be prevented by excessive grazing pressure. Healthy vegetation protects the rainwater and safeguards the water table. Many forest are important catchments areas for rivers, upon which many species, including human beings, depend.
Species at the top of the food chain are generally larger and require more space than other animals, particularly if they are territorial . Conserving such species in the wild protects the habitat of many other animals, as well as safeguarding the essential ecological processes such as water and nutrient cycling. Thus the tiger is the guardian of many other creatures.
