Madla Gate
The classic Panna entry — the main core-zone gate, the thickest lodge belt, and the routes most first-time visitors will remember forever.
Why Madla first
Madla is where most of Panna’s safari story begins. The gate opens into dry deciduous forest — teak stands, rocky ridges and the riverine belt of the Ken — with the highest route density in the reserve. Most of our stays sit on the Madla side, so the morning reporting drive is short and stress-free.
