Sitaghat

Some say this is the prettiest spot in Pench. As the winding track comes to a dead end, it brings you to the bank of the river Pench, dotted with rocks and weird looking trees. In the summer months, bushes with white flowers run all along the bank. To see these flowers in full bloom, it is a must to visit the spot in the morning hours, as they close by early evening. The evening though has a charm of its own here with the light of the low sun painting an amazing scenery with shadows and highlights playing their own game. It is a good spot for bird lovers. Make sure you have your binoculars with you.

Alikatta

The Ali-katta area appears to be the hub around which the park is planned. All tracks seem to wind their way in different directions only to end at Ali-katta. It is a fascinating expanse of grassland, where it is possible to come across any of the animals found in the park. It is one of the few places left in the country where every evening one gets to see the amazing spectacle of large grazing herds of spotted deer. Where there is prey, there will be predators, so keep your eyes open here. It is also the location from where the elephant rides commence.

Ali-katta is also home to Saraswati, a recently born baby elephant (in June 03), who will surely keep visitors enthralled with her antics for a few years to come.
