Pashan Garh Panna National Park - A Taj Safari Lodge

One of the first visits into a small sanctuary property of Taj in Pashangarh Panna, turned out to be an adventurous and amazing stay. The sprawling property of 200 acres of which a small portion houses the rooms, spread out in clusters, itself gave a stay in a forest, with easily spottable spotted Deer, peacock, wild boar and langurs ( luckily they don’t disturb humans) and the occasional civet, pangolin to give company. The movement of guests, without staff is fully discouraged within the area, though The villa ( sorry for the urbane term), was rustic, flooring with cobbled stones and huge bedroom, bathroom and the courtyard of sorts with a gazebo, is quite royale in a jungle. It therefore comes with the dedicated team to keep the guests happy in every way, whether making multiple trips for every need and also ability to reach in short time. Though I cannot expect them to be as suave as their city colleagues, but their humility, open minded conversation and enthusiasm to keep us happy is great and well appreciated We had a nice 3 night stay, comfortable, relaxing and lucky to have kept our date with 6 tigers in the only morning safari to the core area that we went. The only two suggestions that we have, related to the show area ( water spills everywhere) where the platform is flat with no water drain from it. An advice to guests to only visit the core area, as the safari in buffer area is just a waste of money. A big thanks to our naturalist Dipanshu, care taker Prakash, room service Sunil and Ajay in front office and all of those nice smiling faces who made our stay memorable.

This was our fourth visit to the property, one of the most unique Jungle property in India. Staff is always cordial, welcoming, and remembered all of our preferences shared in prior trip. A lovely dinner was setup one evening in the jungle. Overall, exceptional personalized care. Special mention for Rakesh ji, Mahendra ji, Sumit ji, Chef Aidan ji, Ajay ji, Dhrupal ji, Suresh ji, Devashish ji, and Aakash ji. And, I am sure I have missed few more names who provided above and beyond experience

Excellent service and hospitality. Quality and taste of food is great. The staff are polite, and so helpful. The safaris were well managed and informative as the guides and naturist were so well informed. The ambience is superb. The staff took care of all our requirements. The safari picnics and the night safari were so well organised.
