With the Pench River flowing through the 292 sq km core area dominated by Teak trees and rocky landscape, Pench provides ample opportunities to shoot landscapes. Ghost Trees are an integral part of the landscape and the backwaters provide opportunity to shoot birds like River Terns, Ducks and raptors like the Fish Eagle, Buzzards etc.
Jackals are relatively easy to shoot here. Amongst predators, one can find Wild Dogs, Leopards and Tigers. The 2011- 2012 season has been famous for the Collarwali Tigress and her litter of 5 cubs, a rare phenomenon in the wild. Images are hard to let go of, and the clicks keep on coming.
