PENCH NATIONAL PARK
Pench National Park, situated on the banks of the Pench River, is one of famous national parks of Madhya Pradesh.

You can also find leopards, Indian wild dog (Dhole), hyena, wolf, jackal, and a variety of jungle cats. You can spot sambar, cheetal, gaur, jackal, wolf, and over 210 species of local and migratory birds. Rhesus macaques also reside in the forests of Pench National Park.

You will have the day to enjoy an early morning and afternoon Jeep safari in the company of experienced naturalists at the Pench National Park. The duration of the safari will be around 3 hours. The safaris are booked through jungle authorities and offered on first come first serve basis. There are limited jeeps, hence a safari by jeep cannot be guaranteed.

Today, after breakfast you will drive to Satpura. Rest of the day is at leisure.

SATPURA NATIONAL PARK
The Satpura Tiger Reserve is an amalgamation of the Satpura National Park, the Bori Wild Life Sanctuary and the Pachmarhi Sanctuary. This prime wildlife habitat is relatively unknown and is rightly believed to be one of India’s best kept secrets. Here, patrons can explore true wilderness without the crowds. The park offers a diverse and unique range of activities. Apart from jeep, elephant and boat safaris, Satpura is the only park of its kind in Central India that offers walking safaris, giving enthusiasts a ‘one of a kind’ opportunity to explore tiger country on foot. One is likely to sight leopards, sloth bear, Indian wild dogs, hordes of Indian gaur, sambar plus other herbivores found in Central India and if lucky the magnificent tiger.
Satpura is also the Northern most range of the Malabar giant squirrel. The sheer diversity of animals, the presence of several bird species, numerous species of endemic butterflies and the luxury of exploring this 1,500 square km expanse of classic Central Indian wildlife habitat in so many different ways make Satpura a wildlife enthusiast’s paradise. With a terrain that is extremely rugged and consists of sandstone peaks, narrow gorges, ravines and dense forests Satpura National Park offers a more challenging experience.

In the morning you will proceed for a jeep safari at the park accompanied by a naturalist to guide you and give you insights into the diverse ecosystem at the park.
Afternoon will also be reserved for a jeep safari.

This morning, after breakfast at the hotel, you will complete your check-out formalities, drive to Bhopal and then proceed for your onward flight to Delhi.
Arrive in Delhi, transfer and check-in at the hotel.

DELHI

Delhi is not one city. Within it lie several cities, each with its own distinctive allure. Historically speaking, what we see today is the composite of seven older cities that were built, looted, destroyed, and then rebuilt over a period encompassing several centuries. The thriving metropolis that you see today is testament to the spirit of Delhi a city that is unapologetically kitsch under its cultured veneer.

This morning, after your breakfast at the hotel you will complete your check-out formalities and head to the international airport for your flight back home.
