About Pench Tiger Reserve
Pench Tiger Reserve is situated in the Seoni District and Chhindwara District of southern Madhya Pradesh in Central India. The Reserve derived its name from the Pench River that flows, north to south, 74 km through the reserve. The Pench River divides the Pench reserve into two nearly equal parts; the 147.61 km² of the Western Block which comes in the Gumtara Range of the Chhindwara Forest Division and the 145.24 km² of the Eastern Bloc in the Karmajhiri Range of the Seoni Forest Division.

From the earliest records available on the 16th century, this area was described as extremely rich and diverse in wildlife.

It was created in 1983, carved out of the Sanctuary. The Tiger Reserve, 19th in the series, was made under the Project Tiger scheme in November 1992.
