All About It
Situated along the border of Maharashtra and Madhya Pradesh, this jewel of Central India gets its name from the Pench river winding through the forest. The lush, mixed deciduous forest is home to a number of fauna, most popularly to large herds of herbivores like the cheetal, sambar, nilgai, wild boars and langurs! Bustling with the highest density of herbivores from among all national parks in India, this gigantic population is offset by a healthy population of tigers, leopards, wild dogs and jackals.
Highlights
- It was here that Rudyard Kipling wrote his legendary tale, The Jungle Book.
- Highest density of herbivores, thus making it a happy hunting ground for carnivores.
- Home to a variety of lesser carnivores, including jackals, jungle cats and the endangered Indian Wolf.
- Was Home to the popular tigress, Collarwali, who has successfully mothered 26 cubs so far.

A pleasure to travel with Paresh and team. The whole experience was memorable!
Kuldeep & Meghana
Thank you very much Paresh & Ameya. We really enjoyed our first jungle safari. They really managed each and everything right from picking up from Nagpur
airport. We really enjoyed the hospitality and the experience they have. I wish Footloose Journeys all the very best and looking forward to many more jungle
safaris with them.

Thank you Footloose for arranging an excellent trip to Nagzira camp. Everything went very well and I had a great time.It was amazing to watch stars at night and hear Owl calls throught the camp. Great personalised tour , keep it up !

We had an amazing time with Paresh and his team! I was in a group of ten law students and two professors and the Footloose team tailored the trip to our interests (environmental law, policy, and endangered species protection and conservation).
We met with a top tiger conservationist and learned about efforts to protect tiger habitat in central India. We stayed in a stunning resort for two days just outside Kahna National Park and took several beautiful rides through the park and saw some incredible wildlife. Footloose also arranged for us to meet with some of the people who were displaced when the park was formed so we could learn about their way of life and how they work to protect the forest.
I definitely recommend planning a trip with Footloose Journeys. They are very responsive and easy to work with.

It was my very first experience into the raw jungle and my decision to explore Tadoba with Footloose Journeys was truly beautiful! The entire trip was very well organised and wasn't disappointed at any point of time. The crew (Paresh,our guides,drivers) were very interactive and kept enlightening us about the stories of
the jungle. Awaiting for the next journey :) 🐾
