Internal travel at Pench is at present possible in almost any personal or hired vehicle. However, a ban on diesel vehicles entering the park is expected in the near future.

Visitors are allowed to explore the park in their own cars or jeeps as long as they take along a guide from the main gate. If you're staying at one of the resorts, the ideal mode of transport are the safari vehicles each one of them keep. Some of these, like the jeeps only at Bagh Van, are specially designed for wildlife sighting with different level seating for an unobstructed view or the jungle. One other mode of moving around within the park is on foot. Although this is a punishable offense in most of the park, a specially organised nature walk is possible, with a wildlife department guide, from Raiyakassa to Karmajhiri.

Elephant rides are ideal for tiger spotting and getting a true feeling of the jungle

Besides utilising vehicles for tracking wildlife and the nature walk from Raiyakassa to Karmajhiri, another option is an elephant ride available mainly from Alikatta. On most occasions, these rides are taken by visitors when a tiger is spotted and the mahouts make rounds to show them the pride of the Indian jungles. However, true wildlife enthusiasts can also request for rides when no tiger may have been spotted. This is an ideal way to truly experience any jungle, with no vehicle engine or any other sound to shatter the harmony of nature.

In 2003, five more elephants have been brought in from the Andamans for this purpose and will be available to visitors for the season of 2004.
