Panna National Park
Wilderness and Wildlife: Located a short drive from the temples, Panna National Park is a premier tiger reserve and a haven for biodiversity. Spanning over 540 square kilometers along the banks of the Ken River, the park is famous for its successful tiger reintroduction program. The landscape is a b reathtaking mix of deep gorges, dense teak forests, and sprawling grasslands that resemble the African savannah. Visitors can spot the Royal Bengal Tiger, Indian Leopard, Sloth Bear, and over 200 species of birds. The river itself is home to the Mugger crocodile and the rare Gharial. A safari through the Madla Gate takes you through the heart of this rugged terrain, offering a chance to witness nature in its rawest form. The park also holds historical significance, with ruins of ancient shrines and the legendary Pandav Falls located within its vicinity. It is a must-visit for anyone looking to balance the stone art of Khajuraho with the living art of the Indian jungle.
