Panna is the twenty second Tiger Reserve of India and fifth in Madhya Pradesh. The Reserve is situated in the Vindhyan Ranges and spreads over Panna and Chattarpur districts in the north of the state. Located in the central state of Madhya Pradesh, Panna National Park is situated in the Vindhya hills along the tranquil Ken River, one of the cleanest rivers in the world. A dry deciduous forest in the shallow Vindyan soil boasts a dry and hot climate and mainly dominated by Teak Trees. The entire topograpghy of Panna is neatly interspersed with Open Grasslands, Riverines, and Open Woodlands with tall grasses and thorny woodlands. The Ken River, which flows through the Reserve from south to north, is home for Gharial and Mugger, and other aquatic fauna and is one of the least polluted rivers and a tributary of Yamuna. It is one of the sixteen perennial rivers of Madhya Pradesh and is truly the life line of the Reserve. Ken offers some of the most spectacular scenery to the visitor while it meanders for some 55 km through the reserve.
Apart from the Royal Bengal Tiger (Panthera tigris tigris), Panna is also home to the leopard (Panthera pardus), wild dog (Cuon alpinus), wolf (Canis lupus), hyaena (Hyaena hyaena) and caracal (Felus caracal) and smaller cats. Sloth bears (Melursus ursinus) housed in the rock escarpments and undisturbed vales and a favourite too. The Sambar (Cervus unicolor), Chital (Axis axis) and Chowsingha (Tetracevos quadricornis), Nilgai (Boselaphus tragocamelus) and the elusive Chinkara (Gazella gazella) are abundant and found in most open areas in the grasslands, especially on the periphery. The avifauna comprises of more than 200 species including a host of migratory birds. One can see The White Necked Stork, The Bar Headed Goose, honey Buzzard, King Vulture, Blossom headed Parakeet, Paradise flycatcher, Slaty headed Scimitar babbler, just to name a few.
The iTravel Wild Cat Experience is perfect to enjoy not only the tigers but also gives one a feel of rustic luxury clubbed with some architectural marvels and a landscape that one rarely can boast of, truly a photographer’s paradise.
