About Panna

Panna National Park is a remarkable conservation comeback story — after losing its entire tiger population to poaching by 2009, it was restocked with tigers from other parks and has since recovered. The Ken River bisecting the park is one of India's finest stretches of river wilderness with gharials, smooth-coated otters, and extraordinary birding including a vulture colony.
