Pench National Park is a national park in the Indian state of Madhya Pradesh and was established in 1975 with an area of 257.26 km (99.33 sq mi). It is part of Pench Tiger Reserve and derives its name from the Pench River that flows through the park from north to south dividing the park into almost equal western and eastern halves, the well-forested areas of Seoni and Chhindwara districts respectively. It was declared a sanctuary in 1965, raised to the status of national park in 1975 and enlisted as a tiger reserve in 1992.

Elevation ranges from 425 to 620 m (1,394 to 2,034 ft). The protected area is covered with small hills and teak mixed forest in the southern reaches of the Satpura Range.

Located in the Bhandara and Gondia districts, Nagzira Wildlife Sanctuary is one of the virgin places in Maharashtra. Famous for its calm and quiet environment, this sanctuary has a vast population of tigers, leopards, and Indian bison. The quiet Nagzira Lake is the centrepiece, showcasing amazing views and bird-watching activities.

In 1970, it was declared a Wildlife Sanctuary. In 2012, the government announced plans to merge this sanctuary with another national park and made it part of Project Tiger.
