Rivers are known to demarcate the boundaries between the states in a country as also the borders between nations. Examples are Manas river (India-Bhutan boundary), Krishna river (Telangana-Andhra Pradesh boundary) etc. While at Pench Tiger Reserve, we visited another river which demarcates the boundary between Madhya Pradesh and Maharashtra. Pench tiger reserve is spread across both the states. Named Bawanthadi, the river meanders through a forest which inspired Rudyard Kipling. The river originates from Kurai plateau of Seoni district in Madhya Pradesh. The river is also frequented by tigers.
