THE FOREST THAT INSPIRED KIPLING’S
‘THE JUNGLE BOOK’
At Village Machaan, the highlight of every stay is a safari into the wild heart of Pench National Park. Famous as the setting for Rudyard Kipling’s The Jungle Book, Pench is tiger country — home to over 40 tigers along with leopards, black panther (if you are very lucky), wild dogs, jackals, deer, and a dazzling variety of birds. Our jeep safaris are not just drives; they are immersive journeys guided by expert naturalists who know every call, track, and trail of the forest.

Best Time to Visit
for Jungle Safaris
October – February: Cool, green, and full of migratory birds — big cat sightings are rarer in the dense forest, but unforgettable when they come.
March – May: Dry, golden landscapes where big cats rule the shrinking waterholes — your best chance for frequent encounters.
June: The final, thrilling window before the rains, when every big cat sighting feels like a last secret revealed.
