What is the best time to visit Pench National Park?
Pench National Park only opens from 1 October to 30 June and is closed during the monsoon from 1 July to 30 September. The best time to visit Pench is from November to February during winter, which is excellent for wildlife sightings as animals gather around water bodies due to the cooler temperatures. Also, since it is a dry season, the vegetation is sparse, making it easier to spot animals due to reduced foliage.
Summers in Pench are hot, with temperatures soaring, especially in April and May. Despite the heat, summer months increase the chances of tiger sightings as they often come out to waterholes to quench their thirst. The arrival of migratory birds during April and May offers fantastic birdwatching opportunities.
