The park underwent a transformation approximately thirty years ago when villages were relocated from its central section, giving rise to expansive grasslands.

A network of seasonal streams and ‘nallahs’ crisscrosses the region, adding to its natural allure.

While tigers often hunt near the Pench River, leopards tend to roam the peripheral areas, occasionally venturing into the deep forest.
