Ideal Getaway
PashanGarhhas considerably improved the bio-
diversityofPanna National Park – home to more
than 300 species of birds, including rare species such
as the racquet-tailed Drongo maintained through a
number of effective conservation initiatives. Pashan
Garh draws inspiration from the dry-packed stone
houses of the Panna region, with dramatic roofs
constructed from massive slabs of irregularly shaped
slate. The guest areas pay tribute to the Haveli design,
with a spacious central courtyard. The interiors are a
contemporary mix of chocolate linens, block-printed
black silks and cotton lace chandeliers. A strong
motif throughout the lodge is that of the crocodile,
which inhabits the nearby Ken River. The lodge
features 12 stone cottages, with a central guest area
showcasing fabulous leather furniture made in Delhi,
with massive black and white photo canvasses of the
dramatic Panna landscapes.paShan garh
