Anosh Koppiker on the Spirit of Panna

Panna doesn’t always make it to mainstream safari wishlists—but perhaps that’s its greatest strength. Few know that Panna pairs beautifully with Khajuraho, allowing you to experience both cultural wonder and wild encounters in a single trip. Once teetering on the edge of extinction, Panna is now a conservation success story, with tiger sightings that can easily rival Bandhavgarh. It’s intimate, raw, and fiercely proud of its revival.
