Pench Tiger Reserve

Day 1: Arrival at Nagpur – Travel to Pench – First Safari

We begin the journey with a meet and greet at Nagpur Airport or Railway Station. Once the group is assembled, we stop for a local favourite — a steaming plate of authentic Tarri Poha — to kick-start the adventure with flavours of Nagpur.

From there, we drive to Pench National Park (approx. 2.5 hours), where the jungle begins to reveal itself even before we enter the gate. Upon reaching, we check in to our wildlife resort, settle in, and prepare for the afternoon safari.

Our first safari takes us into the heart of Mowgli’s jungle — with the light getting softer and animals becoming active. It’s a great time to capture forest scapes, birds, and golden-hour moments.

In the evening, we gather for a briefing session where we align on zones, gear prep, and key photographic opportunities. Hi-tea and dinner follow, and we call it a night — batteries charged and memory cards ready.

Highlights:

• Meet & greet in Nagpur

• Breakfast: Authentic Tarri Poha

• Drive to Pench and check-in

• Afternoon Safari #1

• Evening briefing session + hi-tea

• Dinner and overnight stay

Day 2: Double Safari Day – Tigers, Light & Landscapes

We rise early and head out for our morning safari, with packed breakfast in hand. Early winter light streaming through the canopy, mist on the forest floor, and the stillness of dawn make for some of the most evocative wildlife frames possible.

After the safari, we return to the resort for some downtime and lunch, followed by our second safari of the day. With changing light and fresh animal activity, afternoon safaris in Pench can be full of surprises — from tigers on patrol to wild dogs on the move.

In the evening, we host a photo review and sighting discussion session, where photographers can share, critique, and learn from one another. This session is all about fine-tuning techniques, gear settings, and storytelling.

Day Breakdown:

• Morning Safari #2 (with packed breakfast)

• Rest and lunch at the resort

• Afternoon Safari #3

• Hi-tea + Photo review session

• Dinner and overnight stay

Day 3: Final Safari & Departure

We set out once again at dawn for our fourth and final safari — a last chance to track Sher Khan and frame one more powerful image before we head home. We carry packed breakfast to ensure uninterrupted time in the jungle.

After the safari, we return to the resort, freshen up, check out, and travel back to Nagpur — with memory cards full of frames and minds full of stories.

Closing Highlights:

• Morning Safari #4

• Packed breakfast in the forest

• Return, check-out, and transfer to Nagpur
