Let Pashan Garh whisk you away, to the stunning Panna National Park - where the wildlife is plentiful and the accommodations are luxurious...
EXPERIENCE
Comprising of a cluster of stone cottages huddled atop a small hill, Pashan Garh is a jungle safari lodge boasting magnificent views over the forest and a large nearby waterhole, which has been host to numerous tiger and resident antelope sightings.
Featuring 12 stone cottages, this beautiful lodge draws inspiration from the dry-packed stone houses of the Panna region. The contemporary interiors offer a mix of chocolate linens, block-printed black silks, celadon cottons and cotton lace chandeliers. A vast stone veranda with a comfortable day bed provides a cozy shelter from the heat of the day. Guest areas are centered around a beautiful central courtyard and enjoy a Haveli design set amongst Banyan trees. Long decks flow between the dining area and the guest area, with their exposed roof rafters and raw stone walls.
Guests can enjoy scrumptious Indian cuisine, prepared by expert chefs in an interactive kitchen, where guests can learn how to prepare traditional Indian recipes. Meals are served in the dining room, on the terraced veranda, or guests can also experience a bush dinner (palanquin dining on an ox cart). For those looking for a bit more privacy, dinners can be discreetly delivered to their rooms using unobtrusive butler hatches.
There is plenty for guests to do at Pashan Garh. A lookout tower offers expansive views over the nearby watering hole, but for a look close-up, guests can travel in comfort in a specially designed 4x4 safari vehicle. There are twice-daily safaris in the to Panna National Park. And for those looking to spend more time at the lodge, guests can enjoy a refreshing dip in the infinity pool.
