Pench National Park (about 100 KM from Nagpur check on google maps) is in Seoni and Chhindwara districts of Madhya Pradesh in India. It derives its name from the Pench River that flows through the park from north to south dividing the park into almost equal western and eastern halves, the well forested areas of Seoni and Chhindwara districts respectively. The Bengal tiger is the main cat species of the park. It is the national animal of both India and Bangladesh. Commonly seen wildlife is chital, sambar, nilgai, wild pig, and jackal.
