The clothes you should carry with you to Pench are totally opposite depending on the season in which you are visiting it. The summers are blisteringly hot and don't really expect any let up while you are there. You should expect unrelenting heat day after day if you are there between the months of April and beginning June. With temperatures soaring between 35 and 47 degrees centigrade most of the day, even the lightest of T-shirts feel like warm jackets. Take along your lightest clothes in the summers with the definite inclusion of a cap and dark glasses. In the winter months, specially November to beginning February, the weather is just the opposite. Especially in December.Morning drives into the park are freezing cold and how many ever layers you wear sometimes feel insufficient.


Being very warmly clad for the winter morning drives makes a lot of sense

The temperature that can drop down to 4 degrees centigrade combined with the wind chill factor experienced in open safari vehicles can chill you to the bone. The days however are extremely pleasant and a light sweatshirt can more than suffice. Evenings and nights once again get very chilly. Carrying along a pair of gloves and a muffler is advisable. For those who intend to take photographs in the wee hours of the morning without pressing all the wrong buttons on their cameras, take along a pair of gloves that are thin yet warm and provide for sufficient movement of the hands.

Try to avoid bright colours and keep it to earthy hues like browns, greens and khakis.
