Distance & gate positioning
Madla gate is your primary entry to the core zone. Stays within ~5 km make the 06:00 winter reporting time genuinely painless. Hinouta gate (on the Panna–Khajuraho road) suits travellers arriving from Khajuraho — we recommend those stays for the last night of a Panna + Khajuraho loop.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need before planning your wild tour.
How early should safari bookings be made?
For weekends and holiday periods, we recommend planning at least 2-4 weeks in advance to improve slot availability.
What is the best month to visit Panna Tiger Reserve?
October to June is generally preferred. Winter offers comfort and clear mornings, while summer can improve big-cat movement near water zones.
How many safaris should I book for better wildlife sighting probability?
For stronger sighting probability, plan at least 2 drives (one sunrise and one evening). Guests staying 3 nights or more generally benefit from 3 to 4 drives across different sectors.
Is advance payment required for safari and package confirmation?
Yes. An advance amount is required to secure permits, vehicles, and operational slots. The remaining amount and payment milestones are shared during booking confirmation.
Do you provide pickup from Khajuraho Airport or Railway Station?
Yes. We arrange pickup and drop from Khajuraho airport/railway station depending on package and arrival timings. Advance confirmation is recommended for smooth scheduling.
What is the best time to visit Panna Tiger Reserve?
The best period is November to June. Winter offers pleasant weather, while summer often improves waterhole sightings and predator movement visibility.
