Taj Safaris’ new jungle safari lodge at Panna (Madhya Pradesh, India), Pashangarh will be open to guests starting 1st October 2008. Accommodation : 12 stone cottages huddled atop a small hill, with magnificent views over the forest and a large nearby waterhole, which has been host to numerous tiger and resident antelope sightings. The Lodge has a central guest area, showcasing fabulous leather furniture made in Delhi, with massive black and white photo canvasses of the dramatic Panna landscapes. There will also be subtle references to the erotic stonework at nearby Khajuraho. The Lodge draws inspiration from the dry-packed stone houses of the Panna region. These houses differ from other Madhya Pradesh styles, with dramatic roofs constructed from massive slabs of irregularly shaped slate. The guest areas celebrate Haveli design, with a spacious central courtyard. The interiors will be a contemporary mix of chocolate linens, block-printed black silks, celadon cottons and cotton lace chandeliers. The Lodge will commemorate the motif of the crocodile, which inhabits the nearby Ken River. About Panna

deciduous forests with short grasses and open woods. Lower altitudes are
characterised by taller grasses and closed woodlands. Common bamboo also
occurs on hilly slopes and gorges. Home to the majestic tiger, guests will
also see leopard, wolf, hyena, jackal and the sloth bear. The reserve is
also well known for sightings of nilgai, sambar, chital, wild boar and
