Discover the breathtaking beauty of Panna, fondly known as the Emerald Forest of India. Nestled in the Panna and Chhatarpur districts of Madhya Pradesh, this national park is a treasure trove of rare and exotic flora and fauna. Renowned for its stunning landscapes and successful tiger reintroduction program, Panna stands as a beacon of hope and inspiration in active nature conservation.
Once on the brink of losing its tiger population, the reserve now boasts a thriving number of these majestic predators, alongside leopards, sambhar, sloth bears, chinkara, and nilgai, thriving in its lush grasslands and dense forests. The park’s vibrant ecosystem is enriched by the towering sal, jamun, and crocodile bark trees that provide a haven for countless species.
Panna is also a birdwatcher’s paradise, home to over 200 species of birds, including the Peregrine falcon, Oriental Honey Buzzard, eagles, and vultures. From wildlife safaris to serene nature walks, this offbeat destination offers an unforgettable adventure through one of India’s most pristine landscapes.
Join us on this extraordinary journey and witness the wild wonders of Panna firsthand!
