Beyond Tigers — Discover the True Essence of Pench
3 Nights / 4 Days
Safaris, Forest Stories & Bonfire Evenings with Sterling Jungle Escapes
Arrive at Sterling Pench and settle into the landscapes that inspired The Jungle Book. After lunch and some time to unwind, head out for your first evening safari as golden light filters through the teak forest. Watch the jungle come alive at dusk before returning to the resort for dinner and bonfire conversations under the stars.
Begin before sunrise as Pench awakens around you — birds calling from the canopy, mist hanging over the grasslands, and wildlife gathering near the waterholes. Return for breakfast and leisure time at the resort before heading into a different safari zone in the afternoon, exploring another side of Pench’s wilderness. End the evening beneath a sky full of stars.
Head into the forest once again for an early morning safari, when the jungle is at its most active and unpredictable. After breakfast and some rest at the resort, spend the afternoon visiting a nearby pottery village, where local artisans continue generations-old craft traditions. Interact with the community, try your hand at pottery, and experience a quieter side of Pench beyond the safari trails.
Enjoy a slow final morning surrounded by teak forests and birdsong. Sip your coffee overlooking the wilderness, take a quiet walk around the property, and soak in the last moments of Pench before breakfast and departure — carrying back memories of wild trails, glowing sunsets, and unforgettable sightings.
Choose your Pench experience with 2 Nights with 3 Safaris or 3 Nights with 5 Safaris. Custom itineraries available on request.

"Spotted 4 tigers on our first morning safari — our naturalist tracked them through the teak forest like he could read the jungle’s mind. Sterling Pench’s mud house rooms were genuinely magical."
"I’ve done Kanha, Bandhavgarh, Tadoba — Pench surprised me the most. Seven tigers across two days, and Sterling Padam Pench’s Alikatta restaurant was a genuine highlight."
"Just 90 km from Nagpur and it felt like another world entirely. Our kids loved the Gond mud house rooms — they didn’t want to leave. Highly recommend for families."
